About Justine
Justine Poyser is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She draws on that background to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and motivation.
She spent part of her training working with a historical sexual abuse charity and a women's charity, which shaped her practical skills in one-to-one support. Those roles fed into her independent practice work in Nottingham and her online practice.
How Justine works
She offers a calm, non-judgemental way of talking through difficult subjects. Justine’s approach treats the person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on building small, manageable steps forward.
Typical work happens over several sessions, often around eight weeks or longer when needs require it. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people feel heard and to strengthen self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours.
These approaches are chosen to suit the concerns and goals brought to sessions. People come for help with relationship strain, parenting pressures, family problems, career uncertainty, addictive behaviours and sleeping or eating issues. Justine also supports those coping with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and bereavement.
Her style is supportive and practical. Conversations are aimed at finding realistic solutions and building confidence to make changes. She aims to empower people to move towards a more manageable and fulfilling life.

How Justine’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings and choices, useful for issues like self-esteem, grief and relationship problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical strategies to change behaviour, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to use and how sessions will progress. Adjustments are made as needs change so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use body language and eye contact, phone can suit quieter or lower-bandwidth moments, chat is good for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines.
