About Janine
Counsellor and BACP member, Janine Hodge has seven years of clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She combines psychotherapy and coaching to help people who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, parenting concerns and relationship difficulties. Janine also works with grief, trauma and issues linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She trained through a CPCAB Level 5 programme and founded Courage2Be Counselling Services in 2019, now operating as Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy. Janine has experience as a counselling lecturer and as a clinical supervisor, and she is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Janine uses an integrative approach. She looks for the recurring patterns that keep a person stuck. Sessions often focus on identifying those patterns, understanding their origins, and reducing intrusive or negative thought loops.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques among other influences. These approaches are used to help people manage symptoms, change unhelpful behaviours, and build clearer ways of responding to stress and relationships.
In practice she blends coaching and psychotherapy to address present problems and future goals. Conversations look at current difficulties, the beliefs behind them and how those beliefs were formed. The aim is to replace unhelpful patterns with more helpful responses and clearer personal choices.
Janine invites people who want practical support for stress, parenting pressures, relationship questions or life change to explore whether her style fits. For anyone in the UK thinking about counselling, she asks that you complete the site's matching steps before booking a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Janine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside Client-Centred practice. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and make values-based choices rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current feelings and ways of relating. Client-Centred work focuses on listening carefully and following what matters most to the person in front of her.Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a suitable fit emerges. This collaborative method aims to match techniques to the particular problem, whether that is anxiety, grief, relationship strain or parenting stress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. In general, remote counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can join from a location that suits their schedule and use a mix of reflective work and practical tasks between meetings.
