About Justine
Justine Howard is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 28 years of experience. She works with adults on common pressures faced in early adulthood and beyond, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem and major life changes.
Justine uses an integrative approach that draws on person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy, often combining listening with practical tools people can use between sessions. She offers straightforward conversations and clear strategies to help manage difficult thoughts and overwhelming feelings.
Clients come with a wide range of issues, from body image and commitment worries to attachment and abandonment concerns. She also has experience with matters linked to adoption and foster care, caregiving strain, chronic illness and cancer related distress. This variety gives her a broad perspective on how life events affect wellbeing.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, manageable steps to get there. Justine aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try alternatives, and build coping skills that fit day-to-day life. She balances practical techniques with attentive listening.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Justine draws mainly on person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says, helping them to clarify their feelings and decide what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs and goals and help choose methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as you find what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel, and they can reduce time spent on commuting. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins, which can suit busy days or people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange sessions in ways that fit everyday life rather than requiring major schedule changes.
