About Justine

Justine Howard offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self‑esteem and coping with life changes. She works to make the first steps easier and to create a steady, practical process for change. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person.

Justine draws on person‑centred counselling alongside cognitive approaches to shape sessions around what helps most. She can provide a calm listening space or practical strategies for managing difficult thoughts and behaviours.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be simple and focused, with practical steps between meetings when they help. With 28 years of experience she has supported people through loss, relationship strain, health challenges and major life transitions. This background means she is used to working with complex and longer‑standing problems as well as short‑term difficulties.

Areas Justine commonly addresses include body image and eating issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and communication or control issues. She also offers help around adoption and foster care questions and ageing and geriatric matters. Justine is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

She works with each person to set clear goals and checks progress as therapy continues.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Justine blends person‑centred counselling with cognitive approaches. Person‑centred counselling focuses on warm, non‑judgemental listening so people can speak freely and find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs time and understanding to make sense of feelings.

Cognitive approaches look at thoughts and behaviours and offer practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. These techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and eating concerns by teaching clear coping steps and ways to test negative thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Justine works collaboratively to identify which style or mix suits each person’s goals and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation without travel, phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can provide brief check‑ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, health needs or busy family schedules while keeping the focus on steady, useful progress.
