About Justine
Justine Poyser is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds NCPS as a credential and works in independent practice in Nottingham. Her background includes charity work for an historical sexual abuse charity and a women's charity, which informed her approach in later practice.
She aims to help people feel heard and understood. She believes each person knows their story and brings strengths to the work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on finding practical ways forward over a number of meetings, commonly around eight weeks or longer depending on need. Justine offers a calm, non-judgemental space. She listens closely and helps people identify useful steps to manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strains.
She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, career worries and family problems. Her style draws on person-centred principles to keep the conversation focused on the client's perspective. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding.
The aim is to pair understanding with clear, manageable actions that fit everyday life. People often come wanting to cope better with change, resolve communication problems, or rebuild confidence after difficult experiences. Justine emphasises collaboration - working together to find solutions without criticism.
She offers phone, video, chat and messaging options to suit different needs and schedules.

Approaches Justine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and tries practical steps to change them. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines by testing small experiments and learning what works.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and needs and then suggests whether person-centred conversation, CBT techniques, or a mix will help most. This is a collaborative decision made together as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when convenient, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
