Justine Poyser, NCPS

Justine Poyser is a qualified counsellor practising in Nottingham, United Kingdom, with five years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem difficulties, as well as career challenges, grief and a range of family concerns. During her training she worked with an historical sexual abuse charity and a women's charity, experiences that contributed practical insight to her private practice.

Her approach is grounded in respect for each person's knowledge of their own life - she views clients as the experts of their own stories while offering guidance and tools to help them move forward. Sessions typically form a collaborative process, exploring solutions over a number of weeks; many clients engage for around eight weeks or longer depending on their needs. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor support to what will work best for each individual.

Justine holds the NCPS credential, indicating professional registration, and combines her private practice work with volunteering for charities. She aims to empower clients without judgment, helping them build confidence, increase resilience and find practical ways to manage change. She looks forward to developing a working relationship and supporting personal growth and recovery.

Client-Centered Care and CBT Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual's experience and relies on empathy, active listening and respect for personal goals. It helps people explore feelings, build self-esteem and work through relationship or family issues by placing the client's perspective at the heart of the process.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that examines the connections between thoughts, emotions and behaviours. It offers practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep or eating concerns by identifying patterns and practising alternative responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Justine collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the process feels tailored rather than fixed.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what suits their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or other commitments and allow registered professionals to provide consistent support even when in-person meetings are not possible.
