Janine Kennedy , NCPS

Janine Kennedy is an accredited and fully insured counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of clinical experience. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification in counselling and psychotherapy that reflects her training and commitment to the field.

Her practice focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and career-related matters. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, avoidant personality patterns, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and family of origin issues.

Janine offers an integrative approach that draws on evidence-informed methods such as client-centred work, mindfulness-informed cognitive behavioural strategies, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. She aims to tailor therapy to each person rather than apply a one-size-fits-all model, working collaboratively to increase self-understanding, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build practical coping skills and resilience. Janine also has experience in Christian faith-based counselling and in supporting clients with toxic relationship patterns and boundary-setting.

Janine is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Janine combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness-based methods to support change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance and building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients can explore feelings and values at their own pace - it is helpful for improving self-understanding and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, eating concerns and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills that can complement cognitive work and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and effective.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide flexibility and wider access to licensed professionals and therapists. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health needs and allow consistent contact from different locations, while preserving a regular therapeutic rhythm and practical continuity of care.
