About Justin
His way of working is centred on each person’s particular needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, with an emphasis on building trust, respect, empathy and compassion while fostering practical skills for managing thoughts, feelings and behaviours. He blends cognitive approaches that examine thought patterns and their influence on behaviour with emotionally focused methods that explore how emotions are internalised and expressed. He also integrates mindfulness and narrative-informed techniques to help shift negative patterns and support more adaptive ways of relating to oneself and others.
Justin is accredited with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes membership of a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. He approaches therapy as a process of empowerment, helping people develop a clearer understanding of themselves and tools for sustainable change. He welcomes clients when they feel ready to take the first step toward personal growth and improved relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviours that follow. It tends to be practical and goal-oriented, often used for issues like anxiety, low mood and stress by teaching skills to reframe thoughts and manage reactions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people explore and express core emotions and understand how these emotions shape relationships and attachment. It is often applied when working through intimacy, attachment or communication difficulties to promote stronger emotional connection.
Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and feelings, offering tools for emotional regulation and coping with difficult mental states. It supports greater self-awareness and resilience amid life changes and ongoing stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Justin will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical benefits including flexible scheduling and access from different locations. Sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow continuity of care, easier appointment access around work or family commitments, and a range of communication styles to suit individual comfort levels. Registered professionals and therapists can use these options to provide consistent support while tailoring the format to each client’s situation.
