About Justine
Justine Poyser is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has five years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation and low self-esteem. Her work also covers career difficulties, grief and a range of family concerns, including blended family issues.
Before private practice she spent time with charities, including an historical sexual abuse charity and a women's charity. That background gave practical experience working with distress linked to abuse and family breakdown. It also informs how she approaches complex emotional problems in clinic work.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She treats the client as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to focus on talking through current problems and testing practical steps that can make daily life easier.
She commonly works over a course of sessions, often around eight weeks or longer, depending on the issue. Goals and actions are reviewed as therapy progresses. The overall aim is to help people find practical solutions that fit their situation.
Justine runs a private practice in Nottingham and has experience in online and charity settings. She uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches and adapts her work to the issues brought by each person. If you are in a blended household and trying to manage routines, loyalty concerns or co-parenting tensions, she may be able to help you talk these through and plan next steps.
How her approaches can work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It involves listening closely and reflecting back what feels important so the client can find their own solutions. This approach can help when someone needs to make sense of complex family feelings or decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test different ways of coping. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and everyday stressors that affect family life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that suit the person and adjust the plan as sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to maintain continuity between appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a quieter time of day rather than travelling to an appointment.
