About Justine
Justine Gibbs is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through relationship difficulties, family stress, low self-esteem and life changes. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone who is anxious or unsure. Justine uses a mix of practical tools and listening to help people feel more in control again.
She has six years of professional experience and is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Background and approach
Her background includes work linked to the NHS, teaching, employability services and disability advocacy, which shapes a practical approach. She draws on both professional training and personal experience when helping clients. In sessions she prefers a tailored plan rather than a single method.
That plan can include acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive strategies, attachment-focused thinking and client-centred ways of working. She also uses elements from dialectical approaches when emotional regulation skills are needed. Justine describes herself as engaged and relaxed while remaining professional.
She encourages people to try new ways of coping and to use tools both during and between sessions. She emphasises that change takes readiness and small steps, and she offers support to move through those steps. If someone decides to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
The sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Justine works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try a mix of methods to see what fits. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs shift or as different skills are tried.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as this biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and offer a way to keep appointments when someone cannot get out easily. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and pacing so therapy works around everyday commitments rather than replacing them.
