Justine Poyser

Justine Poyser is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds NCPS, which is shown as her listed credential. Justine has supported people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem among other concerns.

Her background includes charity work during training, including roles with services that supported survivors of historical sexual abuse and work with a women’s charity. That experience helped shape her private practice and informed how she responds to sensitive issues. She describes an average course of work as around eight weeks or longer, depending on individual needs.

Justine believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the process. She aims to work collaboratively to identify practical solutions and next steps. Sessions focus on finding approaches that fit the client’s goals rather than imposing a single method.

Her practice makes use of Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These approaches are applied in straightforward ways to tackle things like motivation, confidence, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

People who choose to work with her can expect a non-judgemental space and a supportive relationship aimed at building autonomy. She also mentions volunteering with charities as part of her broader experience in the community.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The counsellor offers empathic support, reflects back concerns, and helps build confidence and clarity. This approach is useful for relationship worries, low self-esteem, grief and coping with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical strategies and short exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, depressed mood and some anger-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities, and together they will decide whether to focus more on listening and exploration or on structured CBT techniques. That choice can change as progress is made, so the plan is reviewed over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy around work, family and travel commitments, for shorter check-ins that suit a busy day, or for reducing travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to suit what works best for each person.
