About Justine
Justine Blakeman is a BACP counsellor with six years of direct therapeutic work. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She also supports people facing relationship breakdown, trauma and parenting challenges.
She works from the belief that each person knows their story best. Sessions aim to build on existing strengths and practical skills. The first steps are often small - talking through what feels manageable and what feels urgent.
Background and approach
Justine has experience guiding people through issues linked to domestic abuse and the family court or criminal justice systems in the UK. She also helps with grief, anger, addiction, sleeping and eating concerns, and career-related stress. This practical background informs how she plans sessions.
Her approach draws on client-centred methods that prioritise what the client needs. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going, and DBT skills for managing intense emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to increase self-awareness and motivation.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Cost varies by region and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and decide what to work on, which helps with relationship strain and self esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small practical changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It is useful for people who experience intense mood swings or who struggle with anger and impulsive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options and adapts techniques to the person’s goals and preferences. This means sessions can shift between listening, skills practice and short coaching tasks depending on need.
Online therapy makes those approaches more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want brief, ongoing support between sessions. These formats help fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life.
