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.

Hope and belonging in uncertain times

In times of uncertainty and challenge, it is natural to seek comfort in what feels familiar and safe. As human beings, our need for connection is hardwired—it is not a luxury but a fundamental necessity.

From Dreams to Goals: Setting Intentions for the New Year

As the new year begins, many of us feel inspired to envision a fresh start, imagining all the changes we hope to see in our lives. These dreams can be exciting and motivating, but without clear direction, they often remain just that—dreams. The difference between a dream and a goal lies in its structure: dreams [...]

The Mind-Body-Heart Disconnect: Finding alignment to beat Indecision and Procrastination

As a child, I was taught that my body, my mind, and my heart, are separate and independent from each other.  That I can think of one thing, feel another, and then, find myself doing what’s completely different. But as I grew older, I learnt that my body, mind and heart are actually just different [...]

Emotions Emotions

Many of us grew up with the message that emotions are not always safe to express, emotions can be inconvenient, or even shameful. We learned to square our shoulders, push through them, and "get on with it." We might even turn to food, distractions, or addictions to numb the feelings we were taught to ignore. [...]

The Marvel of the Human Brain

As a psychologist, I’ve always been fascinated by the extraordinary capabilities of the human brain. This intricate organ, marvel of evolution, is the seat of our cognition, creativity and consciousness. It orchestrates everything from our simplest actions to our most profound thoughts and emotions. Yet, despite its brilliance, our brain is also a repository of [...]
