About Justin
Justin Dowdall, BACP, is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship and intimacy issues, self‑esteem, parenting and career pressures. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and day‑to‑day challenges.
He uses a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness work and solution‑focused techniques. In plain terms he looks at how thoughts shape behaviour, how emotions are expressed, and small steps that change routine patterns. Sessions are collaborative and aim to clarify what a person wants to change and how to start doing that.
Clients can expect conversational sessions that identify specific thoughts and actions to try between meetings. Mindfulness exercises and pacing techniques are used when helpful. He also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency and control issues when these come up.
Justin offers support for family problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence impacts, and men’s issues among other concerns. He also works with people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, forgiveness and life purpose questions. Practical problem solving and emotional awareness are recurring themes.
He accepts international clients and works in English. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that influence mood and behaviour. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them and trying new actions; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress management.He also draws on Emotionally‑Focused Therapy to look at how people experience and express emotions in close relationships. EFT helps clarify emotional responses and improve communication and intimacy over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as you progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use different methods to adapt these approaches for remote sessions, and Justin will discuss practical arrangements when you arrange your first meeting.
