About Justine
Justine Whitehill is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship difficulties and issues around self-esteem and identity.
Justine draws on a person-centred foundation that prioritises listening and following what each person brings to sessions. She describes an intuitive style that adapts to individual needs and integrates other therapeutic ideas when they suit the person. Sessions often include space to talk through feelings and to try creative ways of expressing what is hard to say.
Her work has included people coping with trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, chronic illness and pain, and attention-related differences such as ADHD. She also attends to concerns around attachment, abandonment, intimacy, body image and communication problems. The emphasis is on practical conversation about what is happening now and what someone wants to change.
Justine has experience across a wide age range and has found creative approaches useful alongside talking therapies. She aims to help people increase understanding of themselves, manage intense emotions and build small steps toward different choices. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the issues the client brings.
To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and sessions vary in cost depending on location.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Justine describes a person-centred approach as a core way of working. That involves listening closely to what matters to the client and shaping sessions around their priorities, which can help with feelings of uncertainty and directionlessness.She also integrates other evidence-based techniques when they fit the client's needs. These techniques focus on practical ways to manage anxiety, process grief, or address unhelpful patterns in relationships and self-image. Each technique is used to support clearer thinking and more manageable steps, not to promise a fixed outcome.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try different ways of working and decide what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences. This is a joint process that can change as needs evolve.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone sessions require less bandwidth, while video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation; discuss options to choose what suits daily routines and practical needs.
