About Justine
Justine Howard helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, low self-esteem and major life changes. She is a counsellor with 28 years of experience who aims to make early conversations calm and straightforward for worried parents and individuals. Justine writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person.
Her work combines Person-Centred Counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so sessions can be either a steady, listening space or a more practical session focused on coping strategies.
Background and approach
Person-Centred Counselling means the conversation follows your priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and finds ways to change unhelpful patterns. Justine has long experience helping people with trauma, abuse and eating concerns.
She also supports those facing abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, attachment difficulties, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, and problems with body image and codependency. Chronic illness, cancer, caregiving strain and ageing concerns are within her remit too. Her manner is respectful and practical.
Sessions aim to be clear and useful, not full of jargon. She adjusts the approach to what each person needs and to realistic day-to-day pressures. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
The service uses a cancel-anytime subscription for sessions that vary with location and therapist availability.
