About Justine
Justine Poyser is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with self-esteem. Her practical focus also covers career problems, grief and family-related concerns.
She trained and volunteered with charities, including work with an historical sexual abuse charity and a women's charity. That charity experience informs her current private practice in Nottingham and her wider counselling work. She presents herself as someone who listens and treats clients as the experts on their own lives.
Sessions are conversational and aim to identify helpful steps the client can try between meetings. Justine uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what matters to the client, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She typically works in a short-to-medium term format, with many clients meeting over around eight weeks or longer.
She supports people through practical issues such as sleep problems, addiction-related concerns, parenting strain and coping with life changes. Additional areas she notes include attachment and abandonment worries, commitment and communication issues, and eating or food-related problems.
People who prefer a straightforward, action-focused style may find this approach useful. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to discuss priorities and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's concerns and priorities, offering a listening-led style that helps people clarify what matters most to them. It can help with anxiety, relationship worries and low self-esteem by centring conversations on the client's experience.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact. It breaks problems down into practical steps and skills you can try between sessions, which can be helpful for stress, sleep issues, and anxiety-related patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide whether Client-Centred conversations, CBT tasks, or a blend makes most sense for the client's needs. This is a collaborative process that changes as goals evolve.
If you are wondering about practicalities, please confirm the exact session formats when booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and allow sessions without travel. Registered or accredited professionals often use those conveniences to help clients keep therapy consistent alongside other commitments.
