About Josephine
Josephine Cleverly offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addictions and codependency. She also helps with grief, parenting strain, anger, career uncertainty and coping with life changes. Josephine aims to make the first step easier by listening and working at a pace that feels right for each person.
Josephine trained with a BA in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling in Lancashire and completed a Masters in Integrative Counselling in Melbourne, Australia. She has six years of professional experience, including several years as a school counsellor at a large international school in Singapore. That work included supporting adults, young people and children with a range of presenting issues and additional needs.
Her integrative approach draws on several well-known methods, including attachment ideas, play therapy, person-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies. In practice this means sessions can mix talking, practical exercises and creative activities depending on what helps most.
Josephine works in a person-led way and aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She tailors discussions and plans to individual needs and preferences, helping people make small, manageable changes.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holds experience working with trauma and domestic violence, and accepts international clients. For those considering therapy she encourages starting with a short matching questionnaire to find the right fit.
How integrative approaches translate to online work
Josephine draws on a blend of recognised therapeutic methods so online work can be varied. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters, which helps people feel understood and can be effective for issues like low self-esteem and life changes. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and use practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which suits anxiety, stress and some relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Josephine discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods together, so the plan fits what someone wants to get from therapy rather than following a single template.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life, reduced travel time and the option to have shorter check-ins when needed.
