About Justine
Justine Whitehill is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and related concerns. She offers a calm, warm presence and listens closely to what each person brings. Her style aims to make talking feel straightforward and grounded rather than clinical.
She works from a person-centred foundation, which means she follows the client’s lead and builds trust through empathy and respect. Justine adapts her approach to fit each person, drawing on other evidence-based techniques when they suit the work.
Background and approach
Sessions can include creative methods when these help someone express themselves more easily. Her practice covers a wide range of issues including stress, depression, bereavement, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with confidence and self-esteem. She also supports people facing life transitions, addiction concerns, challenges related to neurodiversity, and intimacy-related matters.
Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress. Justine holds BACP registration, which reflects professional standards in the UK. She has four years of experience working with adults across many concerns, and she uses what she learns from each person to shape the next session.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People meet her for one-to-one sessions that concentrate on practical understanding and emotional processing. She encourages small steps that build confidence and capacity over time.
Her approach is collaborative, gentle, and aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward.
Approaches that can help online and in-person
Justine primarily works from a person-centred base, which focuses on listening closely and building a respectful therapeutic relationship so a person can talk through what matters most. This approach helps when anxiety, low mood or life changes feel overwhelming because sessions are paced by the client and aimed at clarity rather than labels.She also uses evidence-based techniques drawn from other therapeutic approaches when these fit the goals. These practical methods can include skills for managing stress and anxiety, ways to address unhelpful thinking patterns, and creative exercises to express difficult emotions. Such techniques are useful for trauma recovery, improving self-esteem, and coping with caregiving or chronic illness challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences, then agree on what to try and how to adjust it over time. That collaborative stance helps people feel involved in their own progress.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or help when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on practical, steady progress.
