Janine Kennedy, NCPS

Janine Kennedy is an accredited and fully insured counsellor and psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience who provides integrative online therapy tailored to each person’s needs. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and combines practical techniques with a supportive, person-centred stance to guide clients through change.

Her practice has a strong focus on eating disorders, obesity and weight management, and food-related concerns, alongside work with toxic relationships that include emotional abuse and boundary-setting. She also offers faith-informed support for clients seeking Christian faith based counselling. Janine regularly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, parenting and blended family issues, self-esteem and body image concerns, career-related stress, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Janine draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural techniques, person-centred therapy, motivational and Socratic questioning, and cognitive restructuring. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, she works collaboratively with clients to deepen self-understanding, gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build practical tools for resilience and lasting change. Her online offering aims to make therapy accessible while maintaining a tailored, compassionate approach to each person’s journey.

How therapeutic approaches inform Janine's online practice

Janine uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s priorities and experiences guide the work. This approach supports people who need acceptance, reflection, and stronger self-awareness as they navigate relationships, identity, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is applied to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and disordered eating behaviours. Sessions focus on clear strategies and step-by-step change when appropriate.

Mindfulness therapy complements these methods by encouraging present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can reduce reactivity to stress and improve coping with difficult emotions and cravings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Janine will work together with each client to select or blend methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists use this flexible stance to tailor care rather than impose a single method.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and convenience. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from different locations. These options make it easier to receive consistent, therapeutically informed help without sacrificing flexibility.
