About Justine

Justine Whitehill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers warm, attentive support to people feeling overwhelmed by life changes. She works from a person-centred foundation and aims to help clients talk through anxiety, stress, grief, depression and difficulties with relationships and parenting.

Her style begins with listening closely and offering an accepting, non-judgemental space. Sessions often focus on helping people understand patterns in their thoughts and everyday habits, and on finding practical ways to cope. Justine says she adapts to each person and brings creativity into work where it helps the process.

Justine holds BACP, which indicates registration with a recognised UK counselling body. Over four years she has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addiction, anger, self-esteem, attachment and issues related to identity and neurodiversity.

She has experience working with a broad adult age range and uses creative approaches when they are helpful for self-expression and exploration. The emphasis is on helping people build understanding and small changes they can try between sessions.

People who meet her usually find practical conversation and steady guidance. The aim is to support each person to find clearer ways of coping and to make choices that fit their life and goals.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Justine works from a person-centred foundation that prioritises listening, empathy and following the client's direction. This approach helps people feel heard and name what matters most to them, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and relationship worries.

She also uses creative methods where helpful, such as drawing or writing exercises to aid self-expression and to surface patterns in thoughts and everyday habits. These techniques can help when verbalising feelings is hard or when someone wants a different way to reflect on difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide what techniques suit their goals and preferences, and may adapt methods over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, avoid travel time and keep continuity when life is unpredictable. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits a person's schedule and for using creative tools in digital or written form to support reflection between sessions.
