Justine Whitehill, BACP

Justine Whitehill helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain about next steps. She meets people gently and listens closely so they can talk about what matters. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make it easier to name feelings and decide what to try next.

Justine works from a person-centred foundation, which means the conversation follows the client’s priorities and pace. She draws on other approaches when they suit the person sitting across from her. Creative therapies are often used alongside talking to help people express things that are hard to put into words.

Her day-to-day work has included anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, and relationship and intimacy issues. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, and challenges linked to ADHD. Additional focus areas include attachment wounds, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Justine has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. International clients are not accepted at this time.

To begin, a person would use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location and availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Justine works from a person-centred foundation, which puts the client's concerns first and values careful listening and empathy. This approach helps people name feelings, set goals at their own pace, and feel heard without judgement. Creative therapies are also used to support expression when words are not enough; these can help with grief, trauma and emotional exploration by using art, metaphor or other activities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what seems most useful and try different ways of working based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as understanding grows.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, making it easier to schedule around work or caring responsibilities, and allowing shorter check-ins when that suits the person. They also make it possible to continue work through relocation or during periods when attending in person is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide which format fits best for practical needs and therapeutic aims.
