About Justine
Justine Gibbs is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, grief, parenting strain, anger and depression. She also works with issues such as compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
She draws on a mix of practical methods rather than a single model. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing different responses, and building everyday coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses alongside acceptance-based, attachment and skills-focused methods.
Justine describes using materials inside and outside sessions. She aims for straightforward exercises and short practical tasks that clients can try between meetings. She emphasises working together to set goals and measure progress in clear, manageable steps.
Her background includes work across medical settings, teaching, employability and disability advocacy, which she says informs how she supports people facing complex life pressures. She mentions personal and lived experience alongside professional training as part of her approach.
Initial contact begins with a short matching process and scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Justine combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and routines to reduce stress and low mood. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships to improve how people connect and respond to others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences, try practical techniques, and adjust what she uses as the work progresses. The choice of methods depends on the clients needs and how they respond to different exercises.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for brief check-ins during a work break. They can also allow for quieter, focused conversations when scheduling works better during the day. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to bring consistent, practical support into everyday routines.
