Justine Poyser

Justine Poyser is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She also helps with career concerns, grief and a range of family-related issues, including divorce and separation. Justine holds NCPS as a listed credential.

Before private practice she worked with charities, including services supporting survivors of historical sexual abuse and a women's charity. That charitable background shaped her practical experience and informed how she undertakes clinical work today. The charity roles gave hands-on time supporting people through difficult events and transitions.

Her approach treats the person as the expert in their story. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and look for realistic steps to address problems. She typically works over multiple sessions, often around eight weeks or longer, to build momentum and change.

Justine draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's needs. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. These methods are used to tackle issues such as anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Her manner is supportive and non-judgemental, aiming to empower people to find their own solutions. She works in private practice in Nottingham and additionally volunteers with charities as part of her ongoing work in the community.

How Justine’s approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps clients clarify their goals and priorities. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to make sense of changes or loss.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that keep problems going and trying practical changes. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and unhelpful coping habits by using short exercises and new ways of noticing thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will review the client’s needs, goals and preferences and suggest techniques that suit those aims. Plans are adjusted as the work progresses to find what feels most helpful.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that is more practical. Talk through your preferred way of meeting and the therapist will advise on how to make sessions useful and manageable.
