Justine Poyser, NCPS

Justine Poyser is a qualified counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification. She works in private practice in Nottingham and during her training contributed to an historical sexual abuse charity and a women’s charity, experiences that have shaped her approach in private practice.

Justine specialises in supporting people with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence, and motivation. She also works with clients facing career difficulties, grief, family issues and relationship challenges, and offers help for addictions, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting and anger management. Her wider practice includes support for those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD and other focused areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family matters and fertility or fatherhood concerns.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that each person is the expert of their own story. Over a number of sessions - often around eight weeks or longer depending on need - she works to identify practical solutions and build the skills clients need to move forward. Justine aims to empower people without judgement and draws on both her charity work and private practice experience to support lasting personal growth.

She welcomes opportunities to build a working relationship and to support clients through change, recovery and personal development.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Justine Poyser draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes. CBT is a practical, structured approach that explores links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours; it is commonly used to address anxiety, low mood, stress and patterns that maintain unhelpful reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Justine treats that as a collaborative decision. She works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts methods so the approach fits the client rather than expecting the client to fit a single model.

Online therapy with Justine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow therapists and registered professionals to maintain continuity of care, make sessions more accessible for busy lives, and support steady progress whether a client prefers face-to-face style conversation or the convenience of messaging.
