About Justine
Justine Gibbs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing anxiety, stress and life changes. She works with people struggling with relationships, grief, low self‑esteem and parenting pressures. Her manner is relaxed and practical, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control one step at a time.
She draws on six years of clinical experience across health, education and social care settings. That background gives her familiarity with medical and disability issues and everyday pressures that affect mood and coping.
Background and approach
Justine uses a mix of approaches rather than a single fixed method, adapting tools to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Practical strategies may include changing unhelpful thoughts, building emotional skills, and clarifying values and priorities.
Homework and short exercises are used to practise new ways of coping between meetings. Justine holds BACP registration, which is a professional counselling membership in the UK. She keeps her work grounded in real life and in what each person finds useful.
Her aim is to guide people toward routines and habits that reduce stress and improve relationships. People who prefer a collaborative, down‑to‑earth conversation tend to find her style helpful. She offers flexible planning and adapts methods as circumstances change, supporting steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Justine often uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on what matters to someone and teaches ways to act in line with those values while handling difficult thoughts and feelings.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will talk through what feels most useful and adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, with practical exercises agreed together so people can try techniques between meetings.
Online therapy is provided via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or require less bandwidth, and text options suit quick check‑ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, balance therapy with work and family life, and keep momentum between meetings.
