Janine HodgeBACP

Janine Hodge is a BACP-registered counsellor with seven years of clinical practice. She founded Courage2Be Counselling Services (now Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy) and mixes psychotherapy with coaching to help people make practical change.

She commonly supports people who are living with anxiety, low mood, overwhelm and self-doubt. Janine also works with parenting concerns and issues that arise around relationships. Her approach is conversational and direct, aimed at identifying the habits and thought loops that keep someone stuck.

Janine uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas. She describes her way of working as integrative, so sessions are shaped around the person's needs rather than a single method.

Many clients come wanting to feel more authentic and less weighed down by shame or overthinking. Janine helps people recognise the patterns behind those feelings and then practises new responses so daily life feels easier to handle.

She also teaches counselling and offers clinical supervision, which informs her reflective and structured style. Janine works from the United Kingdom and provides support in English. If you are looking for support with pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, mention this when you make initial contact so the match can be discussed.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's scheduling process. Janine aims to create a calm, human space where change feels possible and manageable.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Janine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ways of working to guide online support. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts and values-based action, helping people make choices that match what matters to them. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people build clearer expectations and safer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will discuss your needs and preferences and together you will decide which methods to prioritise. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so they feel practical and relevant to your goals.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and keeping continuity when life is full of appointments or family demands. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to join from a quieter location without a lengthy commute. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for your needs.
