Janine Hodge, BACP

Janine Hodge is an integrative psychotherapist and coach based in the United Kingdom, bringing seven years of clinical practice to her work. She trained to level 5 with CPCAB - a recognised professional psychotherapy qualification - and is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. In 2019 she founded Courage2Be Counselling Services, which now operates as Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy, and she continues to combine therapeutic practice with roles as a counselling lecturer and clinical supervisor.

As a parent and relationship coach Janine blends psychotherapy and coaching to support people experiencing anxiety, low mood, self-doubt and emotional overwhelm, often linked to challenges showing up as their authentic selves. She has a particular eye for recognising recurring patterns - an ability she likens to an ADHD superpower - which helps her and the person she is working with to explore what sits beneath intrusive thoughts and unhelpful behaviours.

Her practice uses an integrative model that draws on evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work and cognitive behavioural techniques, tailoring support to each individual's needs. Janine helps people examine current symptoms, trace the origins of long-standing patterns, and work toward shifting beliefs and responses that no longer serve them. The aim is to reconnect with a sense of purpose and self-alignment, rebuilding confidence, boundaries and healthier relationships through a compassionate, practical and personalised process.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work with Janine Hodge

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions where worry or avoidance gets in the way of living well.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection, trust and emotional safety. It can be helpful for relationship difficulties, parenting challenges and long-standing patterns of abandonment or insecurity.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, non-judgmental listening and respect for a person’s own pace of change, supporting self-discovery and improved self-esteem. It is useful for people who need space to explore identity, purpose and emotional wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as the work evolves so the process feels personalised and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow work to continue around busy schedules, family commitments and geographical limits. These options make it easier to access regular support and to try different ways of engaging with a licensed professional that suit an individual’s life and comfort level.
