About Justine Howard

Justine Howard is a professional counsellor with more than 28 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She combines a compassionate, person-focused stance with practical therapeutic tools to create a tailored approach that meets each individual's needs.

Her work is integrative, drawing primarily on Person-Centred Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Person-Centred practice emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental environment in which clients can explore their feelings, while CBT offers structured techniques to manage difficult thoughts and behaviours. Justine adapts these methods to suit the particular goals and circumstances of the person she is working with.

Justine has extensive experience assisting with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, low self-esteem, motivation problems, and transitions in life. Her practice is grounded in sensitivity, respect, and compassion, and she is committed to accompanying people through change with care and understanding. She also holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional affiliation in the counselling field.

Recognising that taking the first step can require courage, Justine offers a steady, supportive presence for those beginning the therapeutic journey. She aims to help individuals build skills, insight, and resilience as they work toward personal growth and well-being.
