About Justine

Justine Whitehill offers a calm, accepting space for people who are struggling and need steady support. She works from a person-centred foundation, listening closely and responding with warmth and compassion. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and understood while they talk through difficult feelings or life changes.

Justine takes an intuitive, flexible stance and follows each person's pace and priorities. She blends person-centred ways of working with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques when that fits the person’s needs. Creative therapies are often used by her to help people express things that are hard to put into words.

She has four years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing in the counselling field. Her experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress, grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, and a range of relationship and identity concerns.

Justine also works with issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, addiction, anger and self-esteem. She supports people navigating parenting stress, chronic illness and caregiver strain, body image, abandonment and attachment difficulties. Her sessions aim to build self-understanding and practical ways to cope.

People who choose to work with her can expect a non-judgemental, person-led process that focuses on what matters to them. She encourages exploration of feelings, development of personal resources, and clearer choices about next steps. The first contact involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to suit the person’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Justine blends a person-centred foundation with other evidence-based techniques to meet a person’s needs. Person-centred work focuses on empathic listening and following what the person brings to the session, helping people feel understood and able to explore feelings. Creative therapy approaches make use of art, metaphor or other expressive ways to help convey hard-to-find words and process emotions.

These approaches suit issues like anxiety, grief, relationship strain, trauma and identity concerns because they centre the person’s experience and pace. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about what helps, adapt techniques over time, and agree next steps together based on goals and preferences.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone use audio-only contact when they prefer not to be on camera, or choose a session length that fits a work break. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors, can work with these practicalities to help therapy fit into everyday routines.
