Justin has been crucial in assisting me through a difficult break-up. He’s guided me through regulating my emotions, and helped me to realise that what I was experiencing in the relationship was not healthy or normal. He’s helped to give me a new lease of life and feel more confident and happy in myself!
More about Justin
- 11 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am a Marriage and Family therapist based in London, with over 16 years experience counselling individuals in private practice, community centres and professional settings. I have worked with clients from a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, life changes, life transition, self worth/esteem, communication skills, emotional awareness and mindfulness work.
My therapy style looks at your specific needs, wants and goals. Each session is a collaborative effort to build trust, respect, empathy and compassion. My approach combines cognitive therapy( looking at thought patterns and how they effect our behaviour), emotionally focused therapy(how we internalise emotions and express them), followed by narrative therapy/mindfulness(how to change negative patterns and emotions). This approach is exclusively focused on the needs of each individual client and learning how to work with your unique thoughts, behaviours and emotions.
Therapy is a difficult process but the goal is for each individual to gain a better understanding and how to work with yourself for a better tomorrow. I am here when you feel ready to take the first step.
I look forward to working with you and helping to empower lasting change.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
I've been working with Justin for nearly a year now and he has really helped me by giving me the tools and knowledge to deal with my feeling. Highly recommended!
Justin has been crucial in assisting me through a difficult break-up. He’s guided me through regulating my emotions, and helped me to realise that what I was experiencing in the relationship was not healthy or normal. He’s helped to give me a new lease of life and feel more confident and happy in myself!
Justin has been tremendously helpful since we started our weekly sessions. He’s given me the tools to become more mindful of how I feel internally and how to navigate periods of stress, particularly in relation to work. I still have a long way to go but I have definitely seen progress over the last 4 weeks - I would highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for help.
