Justine Gibbs , BACP

Justine Gibbs is a UK-based therapist accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years of clinical experience. She combines professional qualifications with personal insight to support people facing a wide range of life challenges, drawing on experience from the NHS, teaching, employability, disability advocacy, family work, and social care.

Her practice addresses stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, motivation and self-esteem, parenting and grief, anger and compassion fatigue, and the emotional impact of chronic illness and caregiving. She works with clients on issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication and commitment concerns, and coping with significant life changes.

Justine prefers a flexible, client-centered style that adapts theory to each person’s needs. She uses a mix of therapeutic tools both inside and outside sessions and creates tailored plans that respond as clients progress. Clients can expect an engaging, relaxed, and professional manner and guidance that emphasizes practical skills alongside self-discovery. When someone is ready to make changes, she supports that journey with encouragement, structure, and compassion.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Justine Gibbs draws on a blend of evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve connection, trust, and emotional regulation, which can support work on relationship difficulties, abandonment, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and low motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Justine collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation, adjusting techniques as progress is made so therapy remains personal and practical.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to access support from home or elsewhere. These options can make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain momentum during busy periods, and continue therapy through life changes while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt their methods for remote delivery.
