About me

Hi, I’m Justin. I’m an integrative counsellor offering face-to-face therapy in Rugby and online across the UK.

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may know exactly what has brought you here, or you may only have a growing sense that something isn’t right. Either is a valid place to begin.

What we might explore

You may be dealing with something specific, such as a loss, a difficult relationship, a change in your life or an experience that has stayed with you. At other times, it can be harder to identify what is wrong. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or find that the same thoughts, feelings or difficulties in relationships keep returning.

We can explore what is happening in your life now, alongside experiences that may have affected how you see yourself and respond to others. This might include feelings you have learned to push aside, expectations you place on yourself, or parts of your experience that have been difficult to understand or talk about.

You do not need to decide in advance what matters most. We can work that out together as we talk.

How I work

As an integrative counsellor, I will get to know you and what you need from our time together, drawing on different therapeutic approaches and ideas when they seem useful. This means I don’t follow one set way of doing therapy or expect you to fit into a particular approach.

Whatever ideas we draw on, the relationship we build will be at the heart of our work. Therapy involves talking about things that may feel difficult, personal or uncertain, so it matters that you feel able to be open with me and that we can talk honestly about how the work is going.

Our conversations will give you time to slow things down and look more closely at what is happening. I will listen carefully, ask questions and help you notice connections that can be difficult to see when you are in the middle of things. I may offer a different point of view, but you will decide what fits with your experience and what does not.

You can speak without needing to present a polished version of yourself or explain everything perfectly. As your understanding develops, we can consider what feels important to you and what, if anything, you would like to be different.

Who I work with

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, bereavement, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and significant changes in life. I also have experience supporting people affected by domestic, narcissistic, emotional and physical abuse, as well as people living with bipolar disorder.

My practice welcomes LGBTQ+ people, people living with HIV, and those exploring sexuality and relationships. You can also talk about any other part of your identity, relationships or way of living without it being judged or treated as a problem in itself.

Whatever has brought you to therapy, we can look at your experience as a whole rather than reducing it to a diagnosis or label.

Starting with a conversation

You don’t need to be certain that therapy is right for you before getting in touch. I offer a free 15-minute introductory conversation where you can tell me a little about what has brought you here, ask any questions and get a sense of how it feels to talk with me.

There is no expectation to make a decision during the conversation. Afterwards, you can take some time to consider whether I feel like someone you could work with and whether you would like to arrange a first session.

Sessions are available face-to-face in Rugby and online across the UK.
