Hello, my name is Justine and I am a professional counsellor with over 28 years of experience helping individuals work through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.
I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing primarily from Person-Centred Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This allows me to tailor our work together to suit your unique needs—whether that means offering a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings, or providing practical strategies to manage difficult thoughts and behaviours.
I have extensive experience supporting clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, eating disorders, low self-esteem, motivation issues, and life transitions. My practice is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I am committed to walking alongside you with care and understanding.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

Justine has been helpful in guiding me through my thoughts and helping me reflect more clearly on my patterns and behaviors. I appreciate that she asks structured questions that push me to think more deeply about myself and my relationships.
She creates a space where I can be honest and direct, which works well for me. I also find her approach practical rather than overly emotional, which helps me stay focused on understanding and improving myself.
Overall, the sessions have been useful in increasing my self-awareness and helping me identify areas I need to work on.
