Justine Poyser, NCPS

Justine Poyser is a counsellor and a member of NCPS with five years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation. She also supports those facing career difficulties, grief and family-related challenges.

During training she worked for charities including an historical sexual abuse charity and a women’s charity. That charity work gave practical experience that informs her private practice. She sees counselling as collaborative and straightforward. Sessions typically run over a number of weeks, often around eight weeks or longer.

Her way of working starts from the view that the person knows their own story. She aims to help people notice their own strengths and use those to tackle what feels hard. Conversations focus on finding practical responses and clearer choices rather than on jargon or labels.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions. That combination helps with both talking through feelings and trying small changes between meetings. The therapist and client agree on goals together and review progress regularly.

Justine practises in Nottingham and provides services in English. She has particular interest in issues such as addiction, ADHD, attachment and communication problems, parenting and relationship concerns. People who want to begin are asked to follow the directory booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session.
