About Janine
Janine Hodge is a counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She founded Courage2Be Counselling Services in 2019 and combines psychotherapy with coaching to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, self-doubt and the fear of showing up as their authentic selves.
Janine is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Janine works in an integrative way, drawing on approaches that match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She often helps clients understand recurring patterns and the beliefs that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce intrusive thoughts and unhelpful noise, so people can make small, steady changes in daily life. Her practice pays attention to how early relationships and experiences shape current struggles.
Trauma, abandonment, rejection and family issues are explored gently so old wounds lose their grip on day-to-day choices. The work aims to reconnect people with values, confidence and clearer direction. Janine also supports people with parenting concerns, relationship difficulties, compassion fatigue, ADHD and LGBT matters among other challenges.
She blends coaching with therapy to create a tailored plan that fits the person’s goals and pace. Sessions typically include looking at patterns, identifying practical skills and building a new set of responses. The process is collaborative and focused on usable change rather than only discussing problems.
People who prefer a warm, straightforward style and want to work on identity, life purpose or healing from earlier hurts may find her approach helpful. She also supervises and teaches, bringing that wider perspective into her clinical work.

How Janine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Janine draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment‑Based ideas and Client‑Centred therapy to shape her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps towards those values. Attachment‑Based ideas focus on how early relationships affect current patterns and help people build more supported ways of relating. Client‑Centred therapy emphasises a non‑judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and topic of conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janine aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and to adapt as understanding grows. She offers guidance while people decide which techniques feel most useful for their situation.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in conversations when that is helpful. It also means sessions can be scheduled around work, parenting or other commitments, which supports consistency and steady progress.
