About Justine
Justine Whitehill helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She speaks plainly and listens carefully, offering a calm presence for conversations about anxiety, grief, depression, stress and relationship worries. Her first aim is to make a client feel heard and understood in sessions.
Justine draws on a person-centred foundation, which means she follows the client’s lead and builds on what matters to them. She uses deep listening, warmth and empathy to create a trusting counselling relationship.
Background and approach
Where helpful, she brings in other approaches chosen to match each person’s needs. She has four years’ experience working in the United Kingdom and with people across a wide age range. She has supported work on difficulties including bereavement, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and identity questions.
Creative therapies are often used when they suit the person’s way of exploring feelings. Her practice includes work around parenting strains, caregiver stress, chronic illness and chronic pain, and challenges such as addiction, OCD and neurodiversity. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and problems with communication and control.
Clients can expect a gentle, flexible approach that adapts to their pace. Justine is a BACP counsellor, and she aims to help people gain greater self-understanding and practical ways to manage life changes and difficult emotions.

How Justine works online
She also often uses creative therapy techniques when suitable, such as drawing or expressive exercises, to help people access feelings that are hard to name. These activities can support work with identity, trauma, self-esteem and chronic illness by offering different ways to reflect and process.
Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit best with a client’s goals, preferences and everyday demands. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules need that. It can also let someone continue support while navigating work, caregiving or health challenges.
