About Justine
Justine Gibbs is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She focuses on common early-adult pressures such as relationships, career worries, stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, alongside family and parenting concerns.
She draws on work across health, education, employability and disability services. That background shapes how she talks through practical problems like motivation, confidence and managing change. Sessions are described as engaging and relaxed while keeping a professional focus on goals.
Justine uses a mix of therapies rather than a single approach. She combines evidence-informed methods and tools in and out of sessions. This means clients may work on thoughts and behaviour, explore attachment patterns, and build coping skills for day-to-day life.
She also brings personal perspectives as a parent and carer, which influence how she supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and ageing or long-term illness in loved ones. Her practice addresses grief, chronic health challenges, and the strain of caring roles.
In sessions she aims to help people take practical steps toward change. That can include setting small goals, learning emotional skills from DBT and CBT, and clarifying values and action from ACT. For people in their late teens and twenties facing life transitions, she offers straightforward support for feeling lost after study, starting work or handling relationship change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It is useful for people stuck after university, changing careers, or feeling uncertain about priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress and gives tools to manage day-to-day problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections, which can be helpful for those dealing with abandonment, blended family issues or commitment worries.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit personal needs, and adjust the plan as sessions progress. Clients can expect a cooperative process where options are tested and changed based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between sessions to practise skills learned in therapy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to suit remote sessions while focusing on practical steps and emotional skills.
