Justine Poyser , NCPS

Justine Poyser is a qualified counsellor in the United Kingdom with 5 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, grief, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. She brings experience from working with charities during her training, including an historical sexual abuse charity and a women’s charity, which helped shape her clinical approach and informed her private practice work in Nottingham.

Holding the NCPS credential, which indicates a recognised professional counselling qualification, she approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective that treats the client as the expert in their own story. She works collaboratively to explore solutions and to build confidence and autonomy, typically over a course of sessions that may last around eight weeks or longer depending on individual needs. Justine aims to create a nonjudgmental space that supports practical change and personal growth while honouring each person’s pace and goals.

In addition to her private practice, she has provided voluntary services for charities and remains committed to giving back to the community. She is accepting new clients and offers a mix of session formats to fit different lifestyles and needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Justine Poyser

Justine works with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring relationship and attachment issues, and strengthening personal resilience.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to manage anxiety, stress, mood, and behaviours. CBT can be useful for coping with depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Justine works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress unfolds in sessions with licensed professionals available to support that journey.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to access regular support from a therapist without travelling, and they allow sessions to be scheduled in ways that suit differing routines and availability.
