Justine Whitehill , BACP

Justine Whitehill is a counsellor who focuses on helping women navigate stress, anxiety and major life changes. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to build trust through attentive listening and empathy. Her style is gentle and personal, with attention to what each person needs in the moment.

She draws on a person-centred foundation, which means conversations centre on the client's experience and pace. From that base she may bring in other approaches when they suit the individual's goals. Creative methods are used at times to aid self-expression and insight.

Justine has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, and with those managing changes like separation or caregiving responsibilities.

Many clients come for help with relationships, intimacy concerns, body image and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with addictions, anger, compulsive behaviours and the challenges of neurodiversity such as ADHD. Practical coping strategies and paced reflection are common parts of sessions.

Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, make small changes and find clearer ways forward. Justine encourages clients to set goals that matter to them and explores steps that fit day-to-day life. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Justine often works from a person-centred base, which means conversations focus on what matters to the client and move at their pace. This approach helps when people need a calm space to explore feelings like grief, shame or low self-esteem.

She also uses creative methods to encourage expression when words feel hard. Drawing on art-based or expressive techniques can help with trauma, body image and identity issues by opening different ways to name difficult experiences.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Justine will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that match your needs. The process is collaborative, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses to find what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you read facial cues and have a longer face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These options aim to make it simpler to get help from wherever you are in the United Kingdom.
