About Justine
Justine Blakeman is a BACP member who brings six years of therapeutic experience to her work. She focuses on practical, person-led support for those feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and sleep problems. She also helps with relationship and separation concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.
Justine believes clients are experts in their own stories. She listens first, then helps people identify strengths and small steps forward. Sessions aim to break big problems into manageable pieces rather than piling on jargon.
Her background includes supporting people through domestic abuse and the practical challenges that can follow. She is familiar with issues that arise around family court and the criminal justice system in the UK, and she offers calm, steady guidance through those processes.
Therapeutic work often uses familiar methods such as talking through patterns, testing out new coping skills, and practising mindfulness to ease tension. Cognitive and behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical work also feature when they suit a person’s goals.
Justine works in a way that lets people set the pace. She helps clients spot what’s working and what needs to change, then builds simple, realistic plans. The emphasis is on useful steps people can try between sessions to improve sleep, mood and everyday functioning.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and gives practical tasks to try between sessions to shift those patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving how people cope day to day.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then work together to try methods that feel helpful. That collaborative stance means approaches are adapted as progress is made and new needs emerge.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and let people join from wherever they are based in the UK. Registered and accredited professionals can use online sessions to practise CBT tools, mindfulness exercises and emotion regulation skills in ways that fit everyday routines.
