About Justine

Justine Gibbs is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, grief and the everyday stresses of life. She works with parents and individuals dealing with self-esteem, career uncertainty, parenting strain and major life changes. She also supports those coping with compassion fatigue, anger and depression. Justine lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her focus areas and offers practical, step-by-step help when life feels overwhelming.

Justine uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small, values-led steps. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape reactions. Her style is engaging and relaxed, with a focus on real-life tools rather than jargon.

She brings six years of clinical experience combined with backgrounds in healthcare, teaching and disability advocacy. That experience informs how she supports people living with chronic illness, caregiving roles, or complex family situations such as adoption and blended families. Clients can expect practical suggestions alongside space to reflect.

Justine holds BACP registration, which she lists as her professional credential in the United Kingdom. She says she updates her learning regularly to reflect changing psychosocial needs and local standards of care.

Her sessions aim to be flexible and tailored. Justine emphasises collaboration - building a plan together and adjusting it as needs change. To begin, she asks people to choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a suitable time.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Justine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small, workable steps even when emotions feel difficult. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with major life changes. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with relationship strain and parenting concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justine aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts exercises and pacing based on what the client needs and checks in regularly to change course if something is not helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow some clients to work from familiar surroundings, while still focusing on actionable skills and relationship patterns that transfer into daily life.
