About Justine
Justine Poyser is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem problems and addictions. She also helps with career questions, sleep and eating problems, parenting strains and ADHD-related concerns.
Before private practice she gained experience at charities, including services for people affected by historical sexual abuse and a women's charity. That background informs how she listens and responds in one-to-one sessions. Her work has involved supporting people through separation, bereavement and complex family problems.
Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on practical steps they can try between sessions. Typical work lasts for around eight weeks or longer depending on goals.
Justine describes the client as the expert in their own life and aims to collaborate on solutions without judgement. Sessions cover practical skills for managing anxiety, improving communication, coping with change and rebuilding routines after loss.
She practices from a private setting in Nottingham and sees people who live in the UK. Sessions are conducted in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens openly, reflects what is said and helps the client identify their priorities and strengths. This approach is often useful for relationship, grief and attachment concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is more structured and looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It includes practical exercises and short tasks to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, mood and sleep problems.
Picking the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options with the client and agree together what to try based on the client's goals and preferences. That means sessions can change focus as needs evolve rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
The practical benefits of online work can include easier fitting of sessions around study or early-career schedules and fewer travel demands. If you want to know which session formats she currently offers, confirm the available options before booking so you can choose what fits your routine. Online sessions can support short skill-focused work and ongoing check-ins alongside longer-term pieces of work.
