Janine Kennedy, NCPS

Janine Kennedy is an accredited and fully insured counsellor and psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, offering personalised integrative online therapy shaped around each client's needs. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification that indicates registration in counselling and psychotherapy and ongoing commitment to professional standards.

Her practice has a particular focus on eating disorders, obesity and weight management, and the dynamics of toxic relationships, including emotional abuse and boundary-setting. She also offers support that integrates Christian faith perspectives when that is helpful to the client. Janine draws on a blend of evidence-informed techniques to create a tailored therapeutic pathway rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

Her clinical toolkit includes mindfulness-informed cognitive behavioural strategies, person-centred methods that prioritise the client's experience, motivational and Socratic questioning to explore values and ambivalence, and cognitive restructuring to gently challenge unhelpful thinking. Working collaboratively, she helps clients deepen self-understanding, address unhelpful thought patterns, and build practical skills for resilience and change. Sessions are delivered online to suit modern schedules and varied needs.

Approaches and benefits of online therapeutic care

Janine utilises client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the client's experiences and values guide the work. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and building a stronger sense of identity.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, eating-related difficulties, and for practical coping skills development.

Mindfulness therapy is integrated into sessions to cultivate present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, offering tools to manage stress, reactivity, and habitual patterns of thinking.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Janine works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the mix as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy lives and to access registered professionals from different locations. These options help maintain continuity of care while accommodating differing schedules and communication styles.
