About Janine Rod

As a psychologist and hypnotherapist I hope to create the highest quality of care for you in a supportive and nurturing environment. I work psycho dynamically which means that you and I will look at how your conscious and unconscious minds interact and influence your thoughts, behaviours and attitudes. I am not rigid in the kind of therapy I use with you; each person is an individual and I tailor your sessions to suit your specific needs. My therapy tends to be more varied than others, and I incorporate techniques from a variety of evidence -based sources, rather than relying on a single system of intervention. I offer you a safe, supportive environment in which you can communicate, gain insight, and develop new skills. I listen to what you say, what you feel and what you need in order to help you to clarify your inner conflicts, confront the barriers to your success and well-being, and reach your goals.

Our Inner Stories

From very early on in our childhood, sometimes even proverbially, we learn narratives or stories that we hold onto into our adulthood. Sometimes these narratives are helpful, but other times they form part of our core beliefs, and these core beliefs hinder us from reaching our true potential. These beliefs, our stories, shape our lives [...]

Transition, change and flexibility

Are you the kind of person that likes change? Or are you the kind of person that wants things to stay the same, embraces the predictability of routines ? Like it or not, life comes with transition, change and adjustment that impacts your life in varying degrees. We all experience transitions throughout our lives – [...]

Transforming your hardware and software

As the new year begins and our warm sunny days continue, for many of us the holidays and our New year’s resolutions are becoming more difficult to keep up. Rather than spend another blog talking about New Year’s resolutions, I thought I would write from another angle – and talk about two aspects to our [...]

No Matter How Much You Ate Yesterday You Need To Fuel Your Body Today

It’s Monday morning and already my mobile is buzzing. Clients are texting for appointments, sending messages or leaving voicemails. The theme is the same. “I went out on the weekend and I binged”, “I stuffed myself”, “I got onto the scale today… I hate myself. I feel gross. Why do I always do this?”, "I’ve [...]

World Mental Health Day 2022

It is not until something is taken away from us that we realise it’s importance or value in our life. Most mornings we wake up and take for granted the beautiful sunshine and blue skies. It’s only when it rains day after day that we value the sunshine And for many of us, the same [...]

Friendship – Be Around People Who Feed Your Soul, Not Around Those Who Eat It

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend. Most of us have at least one friend, if not more. Some of us have many friends and large circles of friends from different areas of their life, whereas [...]

Love thyself – self-love and acceptance

If I asked you to make a list of all the people in the world you loved, would you include yourself on that list? And if it was on that list, would it be number one or how far down would it be? “Why is self-love important?” you might ask. You probably think that self-love [...]

Call a truce on food – There’s no good food, bad food

Is there a food that you have labelled good or bad? A food that is off limits when you are trying to be good, and watch what you eat? A food that you know if you have one mouthful, you will have no control thereafter. For me, that food would have to be chocolate cake. [...]
