About Justine

Justine Blakeman is a BACP registered member with six years of direct therapeutic experience, offering practical support to people navigating stress, anxiety, relationships and the impact of trauma and abuse. She works with parenting concerns including domestic abuse and practical issues related to the UK criminal justice and family court processes, bringing clear-eyed guidance to emotionally complex situations.

Justine believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths are central to overcoming life’s challenges. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect, helping people to unpack difficulties and build on what already works for them. She is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns, including relationship breakdown, addiction, grief, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, as well as practical day-to-day challenges like sleep, eating and career pressures.

Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - Justine combines evidence-informed methods with a compassionate stance. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and she is committed to supporting people to move through difficult moments with clarity and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Justine draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support people in online formats. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own insights and strengths are central; it is useful for building self-awareness and confidence when coping with relationship, identity or life transition issues. CBT is a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, stress and sleep or eating concerns.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and coping skills when intense emotions or relationship difficulties arise. DBT offers practical strategies for managing overwhelming feelings and improving communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Justine collaborates with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful.

Online therapy with Justine is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from home or elsewhere, while working with licensed professionals who adapt methods to the online setting.
