Janine Hodge, BACP

Janine Hodge is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical practice. She combines psychotherapy and coaching to support people struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, parenting pressures and relationship strain. Janine also teaches counselling and provides clinical supervision.

Her work often focuses on patterns that keep people stuck. She describes a tendency to spot recurring behaviours and thought loops quickly, which she uses to help clients slow the mental noise. That makes it easier to identify what is driving anxiety, anger or grief and to start changing how someone responds to those feelings.

Janine draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused tools too. These methods are blended in conversation so practical steps and personal reflection happen together.

Sessions aim to look at how past experiences and family dynamics affect current life. Janine helps people notice patterns formed in childhood, including attachment and abandonment wounds, and then try small, manageable changes in thinking and behaviour. Work can include exploring family of origin issues, blended family pressures and parenting strain.

Practical goals often sit alongside deeper emotional work. Clients can expect to address relationship challenges, self-esteem, grief and anger while also learning coping skills and short-term strategies. Janine frames the work as collaborative, with a focus on clearer thinking and more dependable day-to-day routines.
