About Justine
Justine Howard is a counsellor with 28 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and problems with eating and self-esteem. She offers a calm, respectful space for those coping with big life changes and ongoing worries. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the first step feel achievable.
She works in an integrative way, mixing Person-Centred Counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so sessions can be reflective or more practical depending on need. That means she can listen and help you make sense of feelings, or work on skills to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. The blend is adjusted to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Justine has long experience supporting people affected by abandonment, attachment issues and adoption or foster care experiences. She also works with those facing ageing and geriatric concerns, chronic illness or pain, cancer-related stress, caregiving strain, and body image or codependency issues. Her practice attends to the emotional and everyday impact of these problems.
Her approach is built on respect, sensitivity and practical support. Sessions can include talking, guided exercises and straightforward tools to manage anxiety and low mood. She speaks English and is based in the United Kingdom.

How evidence-based approaches can work online
Justine draws on Person-Centred Counselling, which focuses on offering a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs to process loss, abandonment, or life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT offers tools and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage unhelpful thinking, and build new habits for eating concerns and low self-esteem.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit what you want to achieve, so therapy stays collaborative and goal-focused.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more fully.
