About Janine
Janine Hodge is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years of clinical experience. She founded Courage2Be Counselling Services (now Courage2Be Coaching & Psychotherapy) and combines psychotherapy with coaching to support people facing anxiety, low mood, and emotional overwhelm. Janine draws on her lived experience as a parent to inform a practical, grounded way of working.
She focuses on helping people who feel stuck between the person they show the world and the person they want to be.
Background and approach
Janine uses short and longer conversations to identify repetitive patterns and the beliefs that keep those patterns going. Sessions aim to reduce intrusive thoughts and the noise that makes decisions harder. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, relationship difficulties, parenting strains, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and issues around self-esteem.
She also works with matters such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, family of origin problems, infidelity, and life purpose questions. Janine blends approaches rather than following a single model. She uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural ideas to shape support for each person.
The BACP credential is noted as her professional registration. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. The practical focus is on clear small steps, new patterns, and building responses that help life feel more manageable and purposeful.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean using ACT exercises one week and exploring attachment patterns the next, depending on what feels useful and realistic.
Online formats offer real practical advantages. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction when you want it. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps you organise thoughts. Together these options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family, work and daily life.
