About Janine
Janine Hodge is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has seven years of clinical experience. Janine founded Courage2Be Counselling Services in 2019 and now runs Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy, combining psychotherapy with coaching in her work.
Janine helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood and self-doubt. She pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck and works to reduce intrusive thought loops. Sessions focus on practical ways to feel more like your authentic self and less like the version you think you must show the world.
Her approach is integrative. Janine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside other models to suit each person. That blend lets her tailor the work to the issues someone brings rather than using one fixed method.
Common themes she supports include codependency, relationship strain, parenting worries, trauma and grief, chronic stress, ADHD and identity concerns. She also addresses family of origin problems, abandonment and issues around infidelity or separation when they come up.
In sessions Janine focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns, exploring how they developed, and practising new ways of responding. The aim is to heal old wounds and build more helpful beliefs and behaviours so daily life feels clearer and more manageable.
How Janine's approaches translate to online work
Janine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred principles in her practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful action, which is useful for anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based work explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people shift unhelpful responses. Client-Centred therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person's own goals guide the work.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Janine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She adapts techniques over time as new information emerges and as priorities change, so sessions can feel responsive and goal-focused.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care while juggling family or work commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of approaches online to help clients practise skills and reflect on patterns between sessions.
