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.

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. [...]
