Janine Hodge, BACP

Janine Hodge is an integrative psychotherapist and coach based in the United Kingdom who combines clinical training with practical coaching to support people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and identity-related struggles. She trained to an advanced level as an integrative psychotherapist, holding a CPCAB Level 5 qualification which reflects advanced training in integrative psychotherapy, and she is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Janine founded Courage2Be Counselling Services in 2019, now operating as Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy, and brings more than seven years of clinical practice to her work.

As a parent and relationship coach she blends psychotherapy and coaching to help clients who feel overwhelmed by self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, and the fear of showing up as their authentic selves. She also works as a counselling lecturer and clinical supervisor, roles that inform her reflective and evidence-informed practice. Janine has a particular ability to recognise recurring patterns - a skill she likens to an ADHD superpower - which helps her and the person she is working with to explore the causes of intrusive thought loops and reduce the noise that keeps them stuck.

Her approach is integrative, drawing on a range of theories and techniques so that support can be tailored to each person. Janine focuses on understanding how patterns and beliefs were formed, healing old wounds, and developing new ways of thinking and behaving that support wellbeing, confidence, and healthier relationships. She guides people through the gap between who they are now and who they want to become, helping them reconnect with purpose, set firmer boundaries, and build a more authentic life.

Integrative Approaches for Online Support

Janine commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and on clarifying personal values so actions align with what matters - it can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns in intimacy and trust, helping people repair relational wounds and form healthier connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Janine works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the work feels relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with Janine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for busy lives and for those who prefer remote support. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, schedule sessions around work and family commitments, and access consistent therapeutic support from the United Kingdom.
