Justine Gibbs , BACP

Justine Gibbs is an accredited and licensed therapist in the United Kingdom who combines formal qualifications with hands-on experience across NHS, education, employability, disability, family, and community settings. She keeps her training current with NHS and UK standards and blends clinical learning with lived experience to support people through a wide range of life challenges.

Her work addresses issues such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, grief, parenting, chronic illness and caregiver stress, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue. She draws on a flexible combination of therapeutic models to respond to individual needs rather than relying on a single approach.

Known for an engaging, relaxed, and professional style, she believes that change is possible when someone has the right tools and support. As a mother, sibling, colleague and advocate for disability issues, she brings both clinical training and personal insight to her practice. She uses intuition alongside evidence-informed techniques to shape tailored plans that are adjusted to each person over time.

Through practical resources and collaborative work, Justine aims to help people regain confidence, navigate transitions, and move toward a more fulfilling and manageable life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Justine Gibbs

Justine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, and supports choosing meaningful steps aligned with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections, and supports rebuilding trust and communication in relationships and family dynamics - it can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and ongoing relationship conflict.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is handled collaboratively. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt techniques to each person, and Justine works with clients to identify and tailor methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences over time.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options help maintain continuity through life changes and provide accessible ways to engage in therapy from different locations, with formats that suit varied communication preferences.
