How I Work
The foundation of effective therapy is in the relationship developed between the therapist and the client. A relationship based on respect, acceptance, empathy, safety and trust.
This therapeutic connection is at the heart of my work with clients and my priority is to provide a non-judgmental and safe space to explore what’s important to you. While I don’t claim to have all the answers, we will work together to uncover solutions I believe already exist within you. I draw on a range of psychotherapy approaches, informed by an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach, personalised to suit you and your unique experience.
​
I believe connecting with one's ‘Self’ and understanding and integrating our various parts is the starting point for a more authentic life. A genuine relationship with the Self means connections with others flow, we experience joy and are open to our more spiritual connections.
Testimonial Justine is such a kind and caring person who genuinely takes an interest in every one of her clients.
I feel safe and comfortable with her, and she provides support even when not in session.
Her approach towards therapy is unique, and we constantly work towards finding the perfect treatment for me and my needs.

Working With Eating Disorders
Stigma and misinformation can delay diagnosis and create barriers to seeking treatment. I offer a non-judgemental space where you or your loved one can feel supported, accepted and respected for the unique individual they are. We will work together to understand the real issues that may keep you stuck in patterns of behaviour, thinking and emotional distress. I deeply understand the complexity of this illness and the significant consequences experienced by individuals, their families and their supports.
My experience includes several years as a Therapist and Group facilitator in an Inpatient Eating Disorder Unit. In addition, I provided individual therapy, facilitated inpatient groups and ran a Carer support group. Having moved into private practice, I’m passionate about continuing this vital work and supporting individuals working towards recovery.
I 100% believe that recovery is possible.
