Justine Whitehill, BACP

Justine Whitehill is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She commonly helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and life changes. She also supports people with issues such as self-esteem, anger, parenting strain and problems connected to trauma and abuse.

She works from a person-centred foundation, which means conversations are led by the client and shaped around what matters most to them. That approach uses careful listening and practical talk to help people make sense of their situation and find clearer next steps. Justine also draws on creative methods when these seem useful, and will integrate other approaches as needed.

Her experience includes work with neurodiversity, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, bereavement, identity questions and relationship breakdown. She has worked with adults across a broad age range and describes helping people explore feelings, express themselves and build self-understanding. Sessions often involve straightforward conversation, reflective exercises and sometimes creative activities.

Practical concerns such as career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and addiction appear in her practice. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, body image, guilt and shame, and issues around intimacy. Her approach aims to be responsive, pacing conversations to each person's needs.

People who choose to speak with her usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. The work that follows is collaborative, with an emphasis on clearer thinking, improved coping and manageable steps forward.
