About Justine
Justine Poyser is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works in private practice in Nottingham and has previous charity experience that informs her work. Justine aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and other life challenges.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on exploring practical steps and finding solutions together over a number of meetings, typically around eight weeks or longer when needed. The tone in sessions is supportive and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on helping people feel more confident and autonomous.
Before private practice, Justine volunteered and worked with charities, including an historical sexual abuse charity and a women’s charity. That experience offered direct exposure to trauma-related work and family issues, which she draws on in clinical conversations. Her background also includes helping people with career difficulties, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns and life transitions.
Justine uses person-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to help people address patterns of thought and behaviour. She aims to help clients set achievable goals and practise new skills between sessions. She also supports people working through specific focuses such as attachment or abandonment concerns, blended family matters, fertility and fatherhood issues.
She holds NCPS as a credential. Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens without judgement, helps reflect what matters to the client, and supports them to find their own answers. This approach can be helpful for people coping with low self-esteem, grief, or difficult decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, examines patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to stress or anxiety. It uses practical exercises and step-by-step techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for issues like anxiety, depression and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then adapt the way they work. That might mean using more listening and reflection at first, and then introducing structured CBT exercises as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and support people who prefer not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer flexible arrangements so sessions can fit around work and family commitments.
