About Justine
Justine Poyser is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works in independent practice in Nottingham and has a background volunteering with charities that supported people affected by historical sexual abuse and women’s services. Justine uses her experience to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed move towards practical change.
Her work focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self esteem, grief and career difficulties.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, family problems, addictions and sleep or eating concerns. Her additional interests include abandonment, attachment issues and communication or commitment difficulties. Justine describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their own life.
Sessions typically run over a number of weeks, with many people working together with her for about eight weeks or longer. She aims to help people find solutions that fit their situation without judgement. She holds NCPS as a credential and draws on a client-centred way of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques.
That mix means conversations are led by the person while also using practical tools to try new ways of thinking and acting. Justine offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for online work. She is not taking international clients and sees people in the UK, combining remote support with her local practice in Nottingham.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say and helps people uncover their own solutions; this is useful when someone needs emotional support or clarity about life choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT uses simple practical exercises to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety or low mood. It involves trying small experiments between sessions and learning new coping strategies for everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt sessions so the method fits the person rather than the other way round. That collaboration helps shape how long to work together and which techniques to use.
Online therapy with this counsellor can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or low bandwidth situations, and messaging allows brief updates or flexible timing. These options give practical ways to make therapy fit around work, childcare or travel commitments.
