About Janine
Janine Hodge is a UK-based counsellor with seven years of clinical practice. She trained to diploma level and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Janine blends psychotherapy and coaching in her work and has run Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy since 2019.
She often helps people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Sessions focus on reducing intrusive thought loops and finding practical ways to feel more like yourself. Janine draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method so sessions can be shaped to what each person needs.
Her background includes lecturing in counselling and supervising other practitioners. That teaching and supervisory work informs how she explains patterns and offers clear steps forwards. Janine pays particular attention to attachment, family history and how early experiences shape current responses.
Typical issues she addresses include stress, anxiety, low mood, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and questions about identity. She also supports people dealing with ADHD-related patterns, compassion fatigue and life transitions.
In sessions Janine aims to map the real patterns that keep someone stuck, then work on practical shifts. The emphasis is on clarity, compassion and rebuilding confidence so people can move towards the life they want.
Her practice welcomes people in English across the United Kingdom and she works with both coaching and psychotherapeutic aims within her sessions.
How Janine’s approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and aims to create space for honest reflection and self-direction. It helps people who need a listening, non-judgemental approach to sort through feelings and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting swept up in them and building a values-led life; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from old patterns. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and can help when family history, abandonment or trust issues are central to the problem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day realities. That might mean using more practical CBT-style tasks in some weeks and deeper attachment-focused conversations in others.
Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or switch off video if that helps them focus. These practical benefits can make consistent work possible alongside parenting, work and other commitments.
