Her work also includes helping clients affected by domestic abuse and assisting those navigating the UK criminal justice and family court process. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicating professional membership and adherence to national practice standards.

Justine approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding that each person is the expert in their own story and already possesses resources to draw on.

Recognising that beginning therapy can take courage, she is committed to supporting people as they take that first step and work toward clearer coping, healthier relationships, and improved wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Justine Blakeman

Justine draws on client-centered therapy to build a collaborative and compassionate space where the client is seen as the expert in their own life. This approach focuses on understanding a person’s experience and strengthening their own problem-solving and coping abilities, which is helpful for relationship strain, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress by working on thoughts, routines, and behavioural experiments to create measurable change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Justine works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Justine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing greater flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with a registered professional.
