Justine Whitehill , BACP

Justine Whitehill is a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom who practices from a person-centred foundation, prioritising deep listening, warmth, empathy, and compassion. She creates a trusting therapeutic relationship that follows each client - responding intuitively to their needs and direction while integrating other theoretical approaches when appropriate. Her BACP credential indicates membership in a recognised UK counselling association, reflecting professional standards and commitment to ongoing development.

Justine has worked with people across a wide age range, from children through to older adults, supporting self-exploration, self-expression, self-understanding, and personal growth. She often finds creative therapies particularly effective and includes them when they suit a client’s goals and style of working. Her practice encompasses issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, confidence and self-esteem, bullying, anger management, neurodiversity, OCD, bereavement and loss, life transitions, relationship and attachment concerns, identity exploration including gender and sexuality, trauma, abuse, and PTSD.

She welcomes exploration of any issue that arises in therapy and approaches each person without judgement. Justine recognises the courage it takes to seek change and aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Person-centred and Integrative Support Online

Justine offers a person-centred approach that focuses on building a warm, empathetic relationship in which clients are heard and understood. This approach helps people clarify their feelings, gain self-awareness, and find their own solutions to stress, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and life transitions.

She also uses an integrative stance, drawing on complementary techniques when they suit a client's needs. This flexibility allows her to tailor the work to issues such as trauma, anxiety, addiction, or difficulties with attachment and intimacy. Creative therapeutic methods are included when they support expression and healing, especially for clients who benefit from non-verbal or experiential ways of working.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Justine works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the methods used as the work unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and increase accessibility for people with different needs. They also allow continuity of care and flexible scheduling so clients can engage in therapy in ways that suit their routine and comfort level.
