Background and approach
Justin uses straightforward, person-centred ways of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. He listens, reflects, and helps people find practical steps they can try between meetings.
He also draws on cognitive and solution-focused ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and build small, realistic changes. Mindfulness and emotionally focused approaches are part of his practice. Mindfulness work offers simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep.
Emotionally focused ideas help people understand patterns in important relationships and reconnect to what they need from others. Justin’s background includes many years in mental health, learning disability and criminal justice settings. He also teaches counselling and runs meditation and mindfulness sessions in community settings.
That range of experience informs a calm, steady style that values clear steps and compassionate listening. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online or by phone. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions at a time that suits them.
How Justin’s approaches work online
Justin blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice thought patterns and test small changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and priorities so the work follows what matters to you. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood.He also uses mindfulness and emotionally focused techniques when they suit the person. Mindfulness offers short attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions influence relationship patterns and helps people express needs more clearly. Finding the right mix is part of the process and the therapist will work with clients to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, working through exercises or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
