About Justine
Justine Gibbs is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles and life changes. She works with people feeling low self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Her manner is relaxed and professional, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
She blends practical tools with supportive conversation. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and small steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Justine uses a mix of talking therapies and hypnotherapy to help shift unhelpful patterns and build clearer choices. Her background spans health, education and social care, including work linked to the NHS, employability services and disability advocacy. That variety shapes a practical, everyday approach to problems rather than jargon-filled explanations.
She draws on personal experience as well as professional learning when tailoring plans. Justine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP. She has six years of professional experience and keeps her knowledge up to date with UK standards and developments in mental health.
When people start with her they can expect a flexible plan that is reviewed as things change. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and client-centred practice alongside hypnotherapy. The emphasis is on finding what helps each person move forward.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Justine commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and hypnotherapy in her online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, while focusing on values-based steps towards a better day-to-day life. Hypnotherapy is used as a focused tool to support relaxation, reduce reactivity and reinforce new coping habits when that suits the person.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not worked before. They then adapt methods as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and responsive to changing needs.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversational work and visual connection. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in or an evening session. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, written reflection between sessions or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel, while keeping the focus on effective, collaborative care.
