Justine Poyser is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience.

About Justine

Justine Poyser is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation. Her work also covers grief, career difficulties and family issues.

She practises from a personal setting in Nottingham and has charity experience from roles supporting survivors of historical sexual abuse and women's services. Her starting point is that each person knows their own story best.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and aim to build on a person's strengths. She typically works over a series of sessions, often around eight weeks or longer, to uncover practical steps that feel right for each client. Justine draws on client-centred principles to create a respectful, non-judgemental space.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Those two approaches are blended to suit the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Clients can expect a calm, straightforward style that focuses on making small, achievable changes.

The therapist values empathy and clear communication during sessions. Her past charity work informs how she approaches sensitive topics and long-term recovery. Outside independent practice she has provided counselling for charities during training and continues to volunteer.

That background contributes to a practical understanding of crisis and trauma-related concerns. She aims to empower people to make choices that improve daily life and coping over time.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred and CBT work online

Justine uses client-centred counselling to listen and respond to what matters most to each person, helping them feel heard and understood. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify thoughts and behaviours that get in the way and to practise alternatives that can ease anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options with the client and adapt methods to fit their goals, needs and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when video would be difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments and to maintain contact when life is busy.
