About Justine
Justine Poyser is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and career difficulties, and helps with trauma and abuse, confidence and motivation.
She also supports people dealing with family problems, parenting strains, eating and sleeping concerns, and addictions. Her additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, and communication or commitment problems. She has worked with charities during her training, including an historical sexual abuse charity and a women’s charity, which informed her move into private practice.
In sessions she treats the person as the expert in their life. That means she listens first, then helps uncover practical steps that fit the client’s situation. Sessions often focus on small, repeatable actions and on changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used when helpful to shift thoughts and behaviours.
Typical work covers short programmes of about eight weeks or longer when more time is needed. She aims to help people build clearer choices about work, relationships and daily routines. Conversations are direct and practical, with time spent planning next steps between sessions.
People who pick her often want straightforward support for life changes, improving confidence, or coping better after loss or difficult events. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients at this time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person’s experience. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, helping them speak through what matters and consider choices. This approach suits people who want space to clarify values and priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behaviour. It breaks problems into smaller parts and tests practical changes. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. She will discuss goals and preferences, and adapt methods as sessions progress. The process is collaborative and aims to match techniques to what the client wants to achieve.
The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It can also allow phone-only or lower-bandwidth approaches where video is difficult, depending on what the therapist currently offers.
