Background and approach
She draws on person-centred methods alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Those roles involved supporting people with depression, bereavement, loneliness and a range of other difficulties. Josephine records assessments with PHQ-9 and GAD-7 where useful to track progress and guide planning.
She prefers not to use stigmatising labels and aims to make each session collaborative and non-judgemental. People can expect a mix of listening, reflective questions and practical steps to try between meetings. Josephine is registered as NCPS, works from the United Kingdom, and offers sessions in English.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including parenting, addiction, trauma, self-esteem and more.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Client-centred work prioritises the person's own perspective, offering a listening, non-judgemental space to understand feelings and make choices.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together they will look at your goals, preferences and what feels most useful in early sessions. Plans can then be adjusted over time so the methods and pace match what you need.
Online therapy is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is lower, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people arrange therapy around family, work and other daily commitments.
