About Justine
Justine Blakeman is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of client-facing experience. She works with people on stress and anxiety, relationship and marital separation concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Sessions are built around her stated approaches: Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Justine sees each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on drawing out existing strengths. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people unpack problems and identify manageable steps forward. That might include looking at patterns in thinking, developing new coping skills, or practising present-moment awareness techniques.
Her background includes work with people affected by domestic abuse and those navigating the UK criminal justice and family court systems. She also has experience supporting concerns such as addiction, grief, eating and sleep problems, anger and career-related stress. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment difficulties, blended family and fatherhood issues, codependency and communication problems.
Sessions typically explore what matters now and what can change in everyday life. Justine uses elements of CBT and DBT for skills building, alongside a client-centred stance that prioritises the person's perspective. Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness tools are used when people want help with behaviour change or stress regulation.
People can expect direct conversation, practical strategies and collaborative planning. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Justine integrates Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify what matters most. CBT looks at thinking patterns and practical exercises that reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT gives short, teachable strategies for managing intense feelings and improving communication when relationships are strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to test methods, adapt techniques, and agree what fits the client's needs and goals. That means early sessions may focus on assessment and trying a couple of different tools to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pacing and homework to everyday life so therapy can be practical and manageable.
