About Justine
Justine Whitehill is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief and anger. Sessions are presented in plain language and aim to help people talk through what is happening and find practical ways forward.
Her base is a person-centred approach, which means conversations start with the client's priorities and pace. She listens and follows the issues the client brings, while also drawing on other therapeutic ideas when they seem useful. This gives sessions a flexible, conversational feel rather than a set script.
Justine has worked with a wide range of concerns, including coping with life changes, addictions, parenting pressures, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career strain and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, domestic violence, attachment and abandonment issues, and chronic illness or pain. Anger and impulsivity are included among the difficulties she helps people address.
Creative techniques are used when they fit the person. That can mean different ways to name feelings, pause before reacting, or try out new communication patterns. The aim is to give concrete skills alongside clearer understanding of why certain patterns keep happening.
Sessions focus on honest, straightforward conversation and practical steps people can use between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first appointment through the service.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Justine works from a person-centred foundation which focuses on the client's priorities and pace. This approach helps people feel heard and makes it easier to notice patterns that drive anger or stress. It is useful for relationship issues, anxiety and emotional overwhelm.She also draws on creative techniques that let people name feelings and try new responses outside words alone. Practical skill-building is used too, teaching ways to pause, regulate strong reactions and change communication habits. These steps are aimed at reducing impulsivity and improving how people act in tense moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. That means trying something and then reviewing whether it helps, rather than assuming one method fits all.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. They also let people meet from different locations while keeping the focus on practical change and real-life application.
