Justine WhitehillBACP

Justine Whitehill offers direct, compassionate support for people facing pregnancy and childbirth-related stress and change. She focuses on helping individuals manage anxiety, grief, low mood and life transitions. Sessions aim to create space to talk, reflect and begin practical steps towards coping and clearer thinking.

Justine works from a person-centred foundation, which means she prioritises listening, warmth and empathy. That approach is paired with intuitive use of other methods when they suit a person's needs. She keeps language straightforward and practical, so conversations stay focused and easy to follow.

She has four years of practice and holds BACP membership, which is noted as her professional credential. Over that time she has supported people with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem and relationship problems. She has also worked with issues such as trauma and abuse, bereavement, identity questions and neurodiversity.

Creative therapies are something she often brings into sessions when helpful. Clients can expect gentle exploration, practical coping ideas and room to express difficult feelings. The aim is not quick fixes but clearer choices and steadier day-to-day coping.

Justine describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people find what works for them, whether that means talking things through, trying creative ways to express feelings, or developing simple routines to manage overwhelm.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online counselling

Justine draws primarily on person-centred work, which focuses on listening, acceptance and supporting the client to find their own answers. This approach helps when someone needs empathy, clearer thinking and space to explore feelings during pregnancy or postpartum change.

She also uses creative therapy techniques when they suit the person. Creative methods might include drawing, writing or other expressive tasks to help process emotions and reduce anxiety when words alone feel difficult.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt methods over time based on how things are progressing.

For practical matters, confirm the available session formats before booking as the current biography does not specify them. Online work can make fitting therapy into daily life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or enabling phone-based sessions when video is not convenient. Registered or accredited professionals often find that remote sessions still support meaningful progress when paired with clear goals and regular appointments.
