About Janine

Janine Hodge is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She combines psychotherapy and coaching to help people manage anxiety, low mood, self-doubt and emotional overwhelm. Janine also teaches counselling and provides clinical supervision alongside her practice.

She often notices repeating patterns that keep people stuck. Janine uses that pattern work to help clients see what is driving their thoughts and reactions. Sessions focus on recognising those cycles, reducing unhelpful mental noise and learning practical ways to interrupt negative thought loops.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques, together with client-centred and solution-focused elements. Janine explains things plainly and helps clients decide which methods feel useful for them. She aims to combine practical tools with reflective conversation so people can make clear, manageable changes.

Many clients come with issues linked to relationships, parenting, blended family adjustments, trauma, grief, anger and challenges around identity or life purpose. Janine describes work that looks at where old patterns began and how they still shape day-to-day feelings and behaviour. The focus is on small steps that build steadier emotional responses and clearer personal boundaries.

People who contact her are invited to clarify their aims, talk through what matters most and try out approaches that suit their situation. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and booking starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

How Janine uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then taking steps that matter to you. It can help with anxiety, low mood and uncertainty about roles in relationships or blended households.

Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns in closeness and trust. This work can be useful when loyalties, separation or blended family dynamics make people feel conflicted or unsure how to connect.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Janine will work with the client to identify goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those aims. That collaborative way helps people test what works and adjust as they learn.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and everyday life. Phone check-ins can be shorter and less demanding on bandwidth, while video sessions allow visual interaction for a fuller conversational experience. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these different formats, and Janine will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule your first appointment.
