About Justine
Justine Poyser is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss and life transitions. Justine draws on that practical experience to help people take the first steps towards change.
She has worked with charities that supported survivors of historical sexual abuse and with a women’s charity during training. That time in the voluntary sector gave her practical insights she brings into her independent practice work in Nottingham.
Background and approach
Justine believes each person is the expert in their own story. Sessions are collaborative and focused on finding solutions that suit the individual. She aims to help people build on their strengths and make changes over a series of sessions, often around eight weeks or longer.
Her approach is non-judgemental and supportive. Conversations cover practical steps as well as emotional understanding so people can leave with clearer options and ways forward. Justine uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of thinking or acting.
She combines that work with coaching-style support for career or life decisions. People who want a steady, collaborative process may find her style helpful. She works from a independent practice in Nottingham and maintains links with local charities to inform her work with individuals.

How Justine works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It involves noticing unhelpful patterns and trying different ways of thinking or doing things. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress management.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to agree what methods to try based on their goals and preferences, and may mix client-centred work with practical CBT techniques as needed.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or evening appointments and to join from wherever is convenient. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking.
