I’m Justine.

I believe that every individual is invaluable—worthy of flourishing and authentic connection. As a counsellor, I offer you a place to be seen and accepted, to work through life’s challenges, and to discover the freedom to build a life that is meaningful to you. Together, we can navigate personal, relational, and sexual challenges. My hope is that you will grow in confidence, ownership of your identity and choices; and from this rich foundation, experience a greater sense of wellbeing.

My journey into counselling is deeply influenced by my own lived experiences. There was a time I did not believe that wellbeing was possible for me. However, embarking on my own support-seeking journey has taught me that wellbeing is for everyone. I believe that no matter your label, circumstance, starting point, barriers, privileges, or sufferings, we all have the capacity to choose a little bit more joy, engage in the present, create belonging in our relationships, live purposefully, accomplish our goals—small or big—and improve our individual, relational, and sexual wellness.

Romantic and sexual relationships can be both a source of extraordinary love and incredible anguish. I’ve experienced both the love and anguish, and have learnt so much about myself and relationships from these experiences. I have been married for almost 11 years to my best friend, and we have two young children together. I am passionate about couple relationships because I believe that a healthy relationship is not only beneficial for the wellbeing of the couple, but also for the wellbeing of the individuals within the relationship.

My core values are compassion, creativity, and courage. Compassion drives me to connect deeply with others and to offer a space of empathy and understanding. Creativity encourages me to think outside the box, fostering innovative solutions and new perspectives. Courage empowers me, and those I work with, to face fears and uncertainties while making meaningful choices aligned with their values. In addition, my own Christian faith is an important part of who I am. For clients who share this faith, I can offer counselling that integrates a Christian perspective, only when asked for and desired. At the same time, I respect and warmly welcome people of all backgrounds, faiths, beliefs, identities, and sexualitites.

As someone who understands the ups and downs of life intimately, I strive to bring authenticity and warmth to every relationship I build—whether personal or professional. These experiences and values shape who I am and fuel my passion for journeying with individuals and couples in their wellbeing.
