About Justine
Justine Poyser is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She offers direct, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and other everyday struggles. Her background includes charity work with an historical sexual abuse service and a women's charity, which informed her later independent practice work.
Justine believes people are the experts in their own stories and brings a collaborative attitude to sessions.
Background and approach
She aims to help clients identify strengths and try new ways of managing problems. Sessions are typically arranged over a number of weeks, with many people working together with her for around eight weeks or longer. In practice she combines a client-centred style with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour.
That mix allows space for listening and for practical steps to tackle symptoms like sleep problems, eating concerns, or anxiety. She also supports people facing grief, career setbacks, addiction concerns and parenting pressures. Her approach is straightforward and non-judgemental.
She offers encouragement, practical tools and a steady working relationship to help people make changes at their own pace. Her clinical experience and charity work contribute to a hands-on approach in the room. Justine works from independent practice in Nottingham and provides online support as part of her practice.
She uses a collaborative process to tailor sessions to each person’s goals and circumstances.

How therapy approaches fit into online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and creating a supportive space so the client can find their own solutions. It suits people who want a therapist to reflect their experience and help them build confidence in making changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, sleep problems, mood and unhelpful habits, and works well when people want structured steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust the balance between reflective listening and practical techniques over time.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face contact for in-depth work, phone is a good low-bandwidth option, live chat offers quicker check-ins and text messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing notes between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life, and to keep continuity when in-person sessions are difficult.
