About

Justin Stone – About Me

I am a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor (MBACP), also trained in the Rewind Technique for trauma and phobias. My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to each individual, offering a safe and supportive space for you to explore the challenges you may be facing.

My Experience

I have worked with clients facing a wide range of difficulties, including:

  • Anxiety, stress, and intrusive thoughts
  • Grief, bereavement, and loneliness
  • Trauma, phobias, and unresolved past experiences
  • Anger and emotional overwhelm
  • Relationship challenges and family difficulties
  • Feeling stuck or lacking direction

Whether you are seeking support for something specific or a more general sense of unease, I can help you move towards greater clarity, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.

My Background

Alongside my counselling practice, I bring over 25 years of experience in education at a senior level. This background gives me a deep understanding of the pressures of work-life balance, professional stress, and the ways these can impact mental health, personal wellbeing, and relationships.

My Approach

At the heart of my work is the belief that change is always possible. Counselling provides a confidential and supportive environment where you can explore your experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and begin to create a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

For those interested in the therapeutic “jargon,” I work in an integrative way, drawing on Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis. In practice, this means combining approaches to best suit your needs: creating a compassionate, non-judgemental space (Person-Centred), exploring how your thoughts, feelings, and body responses connect in the here and now (Gestalt), and looking at patterns of relating and communication (Transactional Analysis). Together, these approaches provide flexibility and depth, allowing us to find the way of working that feels right for you.

Where I Work

My practice is based close to the town centre of Royal Leamington Spa, making J Stone Therapy an accessible choice for those living or working in the town, as well as in surrounding areas such as Warwick, Kenilworth, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Coventry.

I also offer online counselling across the UK, providing flexibility and support from the comfort of your own space.
