About Janine

Janine Hodge is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She has seven years of clinical experience and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Janine combines coaching with psychotherapy to help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed or unsure how to be their authentic selves.

Janine set up Courage2Be Counselling Services in 2019 and now works under Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy. She also teaches counselling and offers clinical supervision, which informs her reflective and learning-focused approach.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck. She helps people slow down intrusive thoughts and name the beliefs that drive difficult moods and behaviour. That practical focus aims to reduce shame, self-criticism and overthinking so people can move forward.

Her work draws on a range of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Janine tailors these methods to each person so the work feels relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all. People often come to her with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, trauma and issues around identity or self-worth.

She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD and problems rooted in family of origin or attachment histories. Janine aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore patterns, heal old wounds and build new ways of responding that fit their life and values.

How Janine’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps in that direction, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present day patterns and trust; it helps people understand and change repeating relationship dynamics. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) aims to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and the behaviours that follow, which can reduce anxiety and improve coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adapt them as progress is made, making the process collaborative and responsive.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video calls are useful for deeper conversational work and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, written reflection and flexible timing. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around family, work and daily life.
