About Justine
Justine Whitehill offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety and major life changes. She meets each person where they are and helps them find clearer ways to cope. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, aiming to build trust so people can speak openly and begin to heal.
Justine works from a person-centred foundation, which means she follows the client’s pace and priorities while listening closely. She adapts her way of working to suit each person and brings in other evidence-based techniques when they fit the situation.
How Justine works
Sessions are practical and focused on what matters most to the individual. Her experience includes grief, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, addictions, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, attachment and intimacy issues, and challenges linked to ADHD.
These areas are often linked, so she pays attention to how one problem affects others. Justine has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults who want conversational, reflective therapy and sometimes uses creative methods to help people access feelings that are hard to name.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach. She will help identify practical steps, communication strategies and ways to manage distress. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more confident decision-making.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online care
Justine draws on a person-centred approach that focuses on the person rather than the problem; sessions centre on what the client wants to address and proceed at the client’s pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings or decide what matters next.She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques where they suit the client’s needs, including methods that help manage anxiety, process grief and address trauma-related reactions. These techniques tend to focus on recognising thoughts and feelings, practising new ways of responding, and building everyday coping skills.
Working out the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different ways of working if needed, and agree a plan that fits the person’s aims and preferences. That partnership helps tailor methods to each situation rather than applying a single fixed method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see and speak with the counsellor as they would in-person, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or mobility limits, and to try different formats to see what works best.
