About Justine

Justine Howard is a counsellor with 28 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem and major life changes. She offers straightforward, compassionate support and practical ways to cope when life feels overwhelming. Her manner is calm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel steadier day to day.

She works in an integrative way that blends person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural techniques.

Background and approach

That means sessions can focus on listening and making sense of feelings, or on learning simple strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. The balance depends on what each person needs in the moment. Justine has a long history of helping people with attachment and abandonment worries, adoption and foster care issues, and challenges linked to ageing or long-term illness.

She also supports people dealing with body image, eating concerns, caregiving stress, chronic pain and communication difficulties. Her experience covers a wide range of life and relationship stressors. Sessions aim to be practical and humane.

Clients can expect a respectful space to talk things through, together with tools to manage anxiety, cope with trauma reactions, or handle transitions. Progress is paced to each person’s comfort and goals. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

International clients are welcomed and different online formats are available to suit varied needs.

Everything Justine lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Justine uses a mix of person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural techniques adapted for online work. Person-centred counselling focuses on offering a warm, accepting space where someone can talk through feelings and make sense of their experience; this helps with trauma-related feelings and self-esteem issues. Cognitive behavioural approaches work on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes; these techniques can reduce anxiety and improve coping with difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits best. Together you will decide whether the focus should be on exploring feelings, learning new skills, or a blend of both.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging can be easier to fit around a busy day and offer a written record of reflections and strategies. These options make it straightforward to keep therapy consistent around work, travel or family commitments.
