About Janine
Janine Hodge is a counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years of clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and founded Courage2Be Counselling Services in 2019, now known as Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy. Janine blends psychotherapy and coaching to support people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, self-doubt and the struggle to be their authentic selves.
Janine combines direct, practical work with deeper reflection. She helps people spot the patterns that drive unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then works with them to dial down the mental noise. Her approach is person-centred and adaptive, mixing coaching tasks with therapeutic exploration so sessions can include practical steps as well as emotional processing.
Her focus covers stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue, among others. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, infertility, and men’s issues. Janine pays attention to how early relationships and life events shape current struggles and choices.
In sessions she explores current symptoms, the beliefs behind them, and how those patterns formed. The work aims to heal old wounds and build new ways of responding that support confidence and clearer direction. Janine describes this as creating an inner blueprint for more aligned living.
She teaches and supervises other counsellors and integrates a range of therapeutic ideas to tailor support to each person. People interested in starting are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to therapist availability.
How Janine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Janine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and learning how to act in line with personal values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people change unhelpful relational reactions and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy centres conversations around the person’s own experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janine will talk with each person about their aims, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they choose which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they are practical and relevant to everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins that build momentum. It also lets people combine practical coaching tasks with reflective therapy in ways that suit their routine, such as shorter check-ins or longer deep-dive sessions depending on need.
