About Justine

Justine Poyser is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and addictions among other concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she brings experience from charity work with survivors of historical sexual abuse and women’s services.

In session she treats the person as the expert on their own life. Conversations focus on identifying strengths and practical steps to manage difficult feelings. She uses discussion and reflection across a number of sessions, with many people working together for around eight weeks or longer.

Her background includes supporting clients with career problems, family issues and motivation. That charity work informed her approach to trauma and to supporting people who have felt let down or abandoned. She lists additional focus areas such as attachment and communication problems, blended family issues and forgiveness.

Justine integrates Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) into her practice. That means she listens to personal experience, then works with clients to test thoughts and try practical ways of coping. Sessions aim to balance understanding what happened with small changes that ease day-to-day strain.

People who choose her often want straightforward conversation and help finding workable solutions. She mentions offering private practice sessions in Nottingham and volunteering in community settings.

How her approaches translate to online work

Justine draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so the client can find their own solutions. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and tests small practical changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on a client’s needs, goals and preferences. That means the plan is developed together rather than imposed.

The biography does not specify which online session formats she offers, so confirm options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to keep therapy going alongside everyday responsibilities, and she will help decide how best to structure sessions to suit practical circumstances.
