About Justine
Justine Gibbs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship or family tensions. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting pressures, career uncertainty and the emotional impact of illness or caring roles. Her tone is relaxed and pragmatic, and she encourages clients to take the first step when they feel ready.
Justine holds BACP accreditation, which reflects professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on six years of experience working across health, education and social care settings. That background informs a practical style that mixes discussion with exercises you can try between sessions.
She uses a range of approaches rather than a single model. Sessions are tailored to the person, and plans are adjusted as needs change. Justine emphasises practical tools for coping, building confidence and improving communication in relationships.
Her work is influenced by experience supporting people in medical settings, disability services and employment support. She says intuition and lived experience also shape how she responds in the room. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, and to help clients reclaim a sense of control over daily life.
If someone prefers hands-on techniques, reflective conversation or a mix of both, she adapts her delivery. People who want clear steps to manage difficult feelings or improve interactions often find this approach useful.
How Justine’s approaches work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build values-led action and can aid coping with anxiety, grief or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce worry and low mood. That makes it useful for stress, anxiety and improving everyday routines. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people change repeating dynamics that cause conflict or distance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. You and the counsellor decide together what to focus on and which tools to use, adapting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can help fit counselling into a busy life and let people meet without travel. It can also make shorter check-ins easier to arrange, reduce time spent commuting and allow sessions during a lunch break or between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals use these practical benefits to support steady progress and to make therapy more accessible.
