Justine is a PACFA certified clinical therapist who works with adults and teenagers who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, stuck or unsure of themselves. She supports clients navigating stress, low confidence, relationship difficulties, grief and life transitions, as well as parents supporting teens through big emotions, anxiety or challenging changes. Her warm, compassionate approach creates a safe, judgement-free space to feel heard, build confidence and develop practical strategies to move forward with greater clarity and resilience.
I specialise in supporting adults and teens through anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. I draw on CBT, ACT, mindfulness and person-centred therapy, spotting the patterns keeping you or your teen stuck and building practical strategies that fit your life.
Whether you're an adult navigating a big life change, or a parent worried about your teen, you don't need the right words to start. I offer a genuinely warm, judgement-free space where you can be honest about what's really going on. Reach out for a free 15-minute chat to see if we're the right fit, no pressure, no commitment.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, mindfulness and Positive Psychology, tailoring the approach to what works best for you. Together, we'll work toward feeling more in control of your emotions, understanding the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and developing practical strategies you can actually use outside the therapy room.
