About Justine
Justine Poyser is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem and related concerns including anger. Her style is collaborative and straightforward; she treats people as experts in their own lives and helps them find practical ways to manage problems.
Before private practice she volunteered with charities, including services supporting survivors of historical sexual abuse and a women's charity. That charity experience informs the way she responds to trauma and sensitive disclosures. She also brings experience of career difficulties, family problems and bereavement to her sessions.
Sessions tend to be short-term and goal oriented, typically lasting around eight weeks or longer when needed. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s priorities and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and patterns. Together the approaches help with mood, anxiety, anger and coping with life changes.
Justine aims to work without judgement and to build a practical plan that fits daily life. She supports people who want clearer communication, better boundaries, or tools for managing strong feelings. Practical techniques and talking things through are both part of the work.
Her practice is based in Nottingham and she draws on charity sector experience when supporting people who have experienced abuse or family conflict. Sessions are conducted in English and are organised through an online matching and scheduling process.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on what the person brings to each session. The counsellor follows the client’s priorities, listens without judgement and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach suits issues like relationship stress, grief and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxious or angry reactions and to improve sleep, motivation and daily routines. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing anger or unhelpful behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justine discusses options and adapts the plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The client and counsellor decide together whether to focus on skills practice, short‑term goals or deeper discussion over several weeks.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as current options are set by her practice. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue support while managing work, parenting or medical appointments.
