About me

Hello, I'm Josephine, 

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and you might be feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or not quite yourself right now. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.

Have you been feeling unsettled or not quite yourself in a relationship, or even after it's ended? You might find yourself questioning things more than usual, or noticing your confidence isn't where it used to be. Whether you're still in it or healing from the aftermath, experiences like feeling unheard, controlled, or emotionally drained can take time to understand and rebuild from.

I offer a warm, supportive and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, without pressure or judgement. Together, we can begin to make sense of what's going on for you and work towards meaningful, positive change.

I am a qualified and registered therapeutic counsellor working in an integrative, person-centred, client-led way. This means our work is guided by you, your experiences, your needs, and your goals.

I hold full Professional Liability Insurance and enhanced DBS clearance, and I am committed to providing a safe, confidential, and ethical environment.

"Creating a space where you feel safe, heard and understood."

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a trained, experienced, and qualified Counsellor with a background supporting individuals affected by domestic abuse and trauma. I previously worked as a Counsellor at Women's Aid, where I also held the role of Trustee.

I hold a Master's Degree from Goldsmith's University of London in Understanding Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse, which has given me a deep understanding of the complexities of domestic abuse, coercive control, and the impact these experiences can have. 

Alongside my therapeutic work, I have achieved a Level 3 Award in Education and Training and have delivered a range of training courses on domestic abuse, coercive control, and alcohol and drug misuse.

This experience allows me to support clients who may be feeling confused, overwhelmed, or rebuilding their sense of self after difficult or controlling relationships.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework for good practice. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
