Justine Whitehill, BACP

Justine Whitehill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing midlife concerns and other major life changes. She writes in a warm, direct way and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Her practice emphasises listening, empathy and a steady therapeutic relationship. She works from a person-centred foundation, so sessions begin with the client's experience and priorities. That approach is paired with creativity when it suits someone, such as drawing out feelings or using other expressive methods. Justine follows each person's pace and tailors the way she works to what feels most useful in the moment. Her four years of experience include supporting people with anxiety, depression and stress. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and issues around self-esteem and identity. Additional areas she attends to include addiction, parenting strain, chronic illness and challenges linked to attention differences. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and make small, practical changes. Sessions often focus on helping people understand patterns, manage intense emotions and try new ways of coping. The emphasis is on clear, everyday language and steps that can be used between meetings. Justine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and does not take international clients at this time. To start, people follow the site's matching process and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based methods can work online

Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping people name what matters most to them. In practice this means the therapist follows the person's concerns, offers reflective feedback and helps set achievable goals. This approach is useful for issues like low mood, uncertainty in midlife and relationship questions.

Creative techniques use art, writing or other expressive tools to surface feelings that can be hard to put into words. These methods can help with grief, identity questions and long-standing patterns of shame or emptiness by offering different ways to process experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss which techniques might fit the client's aims and preferences and will adapt methods as the relationship develops. That decision is collaborative and reviewed over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Some people find it easier to plan short check-ins around work or to use sessions on days when they have fewer commitments. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the current biography does not list specific session modes, and check which options suit your schedule and needs.
