About Justine
Justine Whitehill is a counsellor who aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable. She works from a person-centred base, listening closely and offering warmth and empathy. Her approach is gentle and attuned to each person, so sessions move at the client’s pace.
She draws on creative methods when these suit the person, and adapts other techniques to meet individual needs. That flexible way of working means she can help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures and career uncertainty. Justine has four years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has experience helping people cope with trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, low self‑esteem and issues related to attachment and abandonment.
She also works with concerns such as chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, and impulsivity. Sessions are offered in English and are available using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Online options allow for shorter check‑ins or longer conversational work depending on what someone needs.
Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Justine encourages a collaborative relationship where the person sets goals and the counsellor follows their lead. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect someone to a therapist and then scheduling is done according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Many of her sessions begin from a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. This helps people feel heard and helps identify what matters most to them, whether they are coping with anxiety, grief or relationship strain.She also uses creative ways of working when appropriate, such as drawing, writing or other expressive tools adapted for online use. These methods can help people access feelings that are hard to name and support reflection outside of spoken conversation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a more conversational, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, ongoing support between sessions or when people prefer typed conversation.
These options help fit therapy around work, family life and mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
