About Josephine
Josephine Cleverly listens to and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting pressures, addiction concerns and grief. She works with adults who are trying to cope with life changes, work stress, intimacy issues and feelings of isolation. Josephine’s approach is practical and person-centred, aiming to help people feel steadier and clearer about next steps.
She trained with a BA in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling in Lancashire and completed a Masters in Integrative Counselling in Melbourne, Australia. Josephine has six years of professional experience, including several years as a school counsellor at a large international school in Singapore. That work involved supporting adults and young people affected by domestic violence, trauma and additional needs.
Josephine draws on a range of therapeutic ideas rather than a single model. She uses person-centred dialogue, aspects of cognitive behavioural approaches, solution-focused techniques, attachment concepts and play-based methods where helpful. This allows sessions to be shaped around what each person finds useful.
Sessions combine talking with practical strategies and sometimes creative or play elements for younger clients. She prioritises a respectful, sensitive and compassionate manner and works at a pace that suits the individual. The aim is to help people process feelings, build coping skills and find clearer direction in day-to-day life.
People are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Josephine accepts international clients and works in English.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Josephine draws on integrative practice that mixes person-centred dialogue, cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques. Person-centred work means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and focuses on understanding how they see things. Cognitive behavioural ideas offer practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety and panic-related worries. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable goals and what helps someone move forward rather than dwelling on problems.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and effective.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It also permits shorter or more flexible session times when needed, and can help people maintain continuity of care when moving between places. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to support steady progress while fitting therapy around everyday life.
