About Janine
Janine Hodge is a counsellor with seven years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and combines psychotherapy with coaching in her work. Janine has run Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy since 2019 and draws on her experience as a counselling lecturer and clinical supervisor.
Janine offers practical, straightforward help for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt.
Background and approach
She focuses on the everyday struggles that stop people showing up as their authentic selves. Sessions aim to calm chaotic thought patterns and identify unhelpful habits that keep worries and low mood in place. Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person.
Janine uses elements from cognitive behavioural work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours. She also brings attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationships shape current difficulties. In sessions she helps people spot repeated patterns, trace where they came from, and test new ways of responding.
That can mean practical exercises, short coaching tasks between meetings, or talking through difficult memories at a steady pace. The work targets issues such as stress, relationship strain, parenting worries, grief, trauma, and low self-esteem. Janine supports people trying to reconnect with a clearer sense of purpose and confidence.
She aims to create a calm, respectful space where progress feels manageable and personal goals are clear.
Approaches to support change online
Janine uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that suit online work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values and life goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision based on your needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try things out, and adjust the plan if something is not helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility around work, family and location. Video calls are useful for full sessions with visual connection, phone sessions can be a quick check-in or fit a busy day, and chat or messaging works well for brief reflections or practical coaching tasks between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into everyday life.
