About Justine
Justine Poyser is a UK-based counsellor with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and problems tied to trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with grief, career difficulties and family concerns. Justine practises using a client-focused, respectful approach and holds the NCPS credential.
Before private practice she gained experience at charities, including an organisation supporting people who experienced historical sexual abuse and a women's charity. That background shaped her way of working and gave practical experience of sensitive situations. She brings that experience into one-to-one sessions.
Justine’s style is collaborative and non-judgemental. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them identify steps forward. Sessions often explore practical coping skills and clearer ways to make decisions.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to look at patterns of thought and behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her work, so sessions aim to be warm and focused on the client’s needs.
Typical bookings run over a number of sessions, often around eight weeks or longer depending on the issue. She works from private practice in Nottingham and continues to volunteer with local charities. People who want to begin are invited to follow the service process to match with her and schedule sessions.
How Client-Centred and CBT Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client’s pace. The counsellor offers understanding and space for people to find their own solutions, which can help with low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress by practising new ways of thinking and coping between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively with each person to decide whether a more client-centred style, CBT techniques or a mix feels most useful for their goals and situation.
Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions around everyday life, shorter check-ins by audio if preferred, and fewer travel demands. Session formats are not listed here; please confirm the current session options before booking so they match your needs and schedule.
