Justine Gibbs offers a steady, practical space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or big life changes. She speaks plainly and makes sessions about what matters to each person. Justine is BACP accredited and works from experience in health, teaching and social care to shape her support.

She focuses on everyday problems like low self-esteem, parenting pressures, grief, anger and career uncertainty. She also helps with longer-standing patterns such as attachment issues, codependency and avoidant personality traits.

Background and approach

Sessions look at what is getting in the way now and what small steps might help moving forward. Her approach mixes several therapies so work is tailored to each person. That might mean learning new thinking or coping skills, exploring relationship patterns, or practising acceptance of difficult emotions.

Justine aims to make therapy practical and easy to use between sessions. Justine draws on six years of clinical experience in the UK, including roles connected to the NHS, education and disability support. Her background influences how she thinks about stress, chronic illness, caregiving strain and life transitions.

People can expect a warm and straightforward style. Sessions are adapted to individual needs and changes are paced to what feels manageable. She encourages collaboration so the plan shifts as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It focuses on values and small steps people can take to live in line with what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It can help people who struggle with trust, closeness or recurring relationship problems by identifying patterns and practising new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means techniques can change as the client’s priorities shift.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or to choose shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and other daily demands.
