About Justine
Justine Howard is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 28 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem and people coping with life changes. She helps people who feel stuck after big shifts in work, relationships or health.
Her way of working mixes person-centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, using listening alongside practical strategies. Sessions often include talking through difficult feelings and trying small, doable steps to change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She adapts the balance of listening and practical tools to what each person needs.
Justine also supports clients dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and aspects of ageing and caregiving. She works with difficulties such as body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, commitment and control issues, and communication problems. These are addressed through straightforward conversation and skills practice.
Her approach is steady and respectful, focusing on clear ideas people can use between sessions. She explains options, explores what has helped before, and checks in on progress. People who come with trauma or eating difficulties are offered both emotional support and techniques to reduce distress.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.
Approaches used in online sessions
Justine draws on person-centred counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as the core approaches. Person-centred counselling focuses on open, non-directive listening that helps people make sense of their feelings and priorities. It is useful when someone needs space to examine what matters to them after a change in work, relationships or health.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and alter unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, eating concerns and stress, and it includes practical exercises people can try between sessions.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then agree a plan together. That means the balance of listening and practical tools can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into everyday life - for example, it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside work, caring responsibilities or health appointments.
