About Janine Kennedy
Hi, I'm Janine Kennedy, a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience helping people navigate life's challenges.
My work is grounded in a person-centred approach, which means I prioritise creating a safe, non-judgemental, and empathetic space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and therapy should move at a pace that feels right for you.
I also integrate a range of evidence-based techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), including Socratic questioning to help explore and challenge unhelpful thought patterns. I also use elements of Motivational Interviewing to support behaviour change and decision-making, particularly where ambivalence or uncertainty may be present.
This integrative and collaborative approach allows the work to be tailored to your individual needs, goals, and preferences.
