About Justine

Justine Gibbs is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of life issues. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and practical. Her style is relaxed and professional, and she encourages people to use their own strengths as part of change.

She draws on six years of clinical experience in health, teaching and social care settings. That background informs how she supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, career doubts and problems with self-esteem and motivation.

Justine uses a flexible mix of approaches to suit each person. She combines talking therapies and practical tools to help people manage feelings, improve communication and rebuild confidence. She does not rely on a single method and adapts plans as needs change.

Clients can expect tailored sessions with real-life actions to try between meetings. Justine describes herself as engaging and approachable while keeping sessions focused on what the person wants to achieve. Her experience working with medical and community services also helps when practical support is needed.

She holds BACP registration, which is noted as a professional credential in the UK. Sessions are delivered in English and she does not work with international clients. To begin, people are invited to follow the booking steps on the site to match with her and schedule an appointment.

How therapy approaches adapt to online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current close connections and communication. It is often used when people want to understand relationship patterns and improve connection. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions, which can help with self-esteem and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to explore goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adapt the plan over time so the work fits the person's needs and day-to-day circumstances.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also enable shorter phone or messaging check-ins when a full video session is not needed, or be scheduled around work breaks to maintain continuity of care. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you make your initial booking.
