About Justine
Justine Gibbs is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and grief. Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to help clients start making small, practical changes that improve day-to-day life.
She draws on six years of experience across healthcare, teaching, employability and social care settings. This background informs the way she tailors sessions to each person. Sessions blend conversations, practical exercises and tools to practise between meetings.
Justine uses a mix of recognised approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based methods. She does not rely on one fixed model and adapts techniques to what the client finds most useful. The work often covers communication, boundaries, coping with life changes and dealing with codependency concerns.
Clients can expect a collaborative plan that is flexible and adjusts as progress is made. Justine describes her approach as engaging and relaxed while remaining professional. She also brings lived experience as a parent and advocate for disability issues into her practical, everyday focus.
Her aim is to guide people toward greater confidence and better coping skills. When someone is ready to begin, she supports them in setting clear steps and practising new ways of managing feelings and relationships.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives straightforward strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It can help with depression, worry and behavioural habits. Attachment-Based approaches pay attention to how early relationships affect current patterns and can be useful when working on relationship issues and codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try together. Sessions can be adjusted over time if something feels less helpful, making the process collaborative and responsive.
The original biography does not specify online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility to choose quieter moments for conversation and to practise tools between meetings, helping therapeutic work become part of everyday life.
