About me
*Now accepting clients for short-term pieces of work of 10 weeks*
Hi there,
Have you tried therapy before but it's never quite worked? Felt like it has actually made the problem bigger?
I can provide you with more than just an empathetic ear. I can help you develop new ways of being by radically changing your perceptions and behaviours.
My goal is for you to become your own therapist, I provide a guarantee to not keep you in therapy longer than you need to be. We will set goals and once we’ve met them, it’s over to you!
My knowledge of CBT and its application is advanced - I teach CBT at the University of Salford, where I work as a lecturer.
I have had the pleasure of working with both neurodiverse and neurotypical clients, and I'm skilled in adapting CBT to meet the needs of each individual.
I treat long-term depression, low self-esteem, anxiety disorders (such as OCD, GAD, PTSD, Phobias and Health Anxiety). I specialise in Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
Contact me for a free phone consultation today!
Testimonials:
'I truly cannot thank Josie enough for the profound impact she’s had on my life. When I first started therapy with her, I was carrying the weight of unresolved childhood trauma and struggling with relationship-related OCD. From the very beginning, Josie created a space that felt safe, grounded, and deeply compassionate — but also rooted in evidence-based, practical work that made a real difference.
Her approach was refreshingly different from my previous experiences with therapy — no fluff, just effective, structured strategies that actually worked. Through CBT and targeted ERP, she helped me confront and move through the fears and patterns that were keeping me stuck. She guided me to understand my past and its influence on my present, and helped me to develop tools to feel more secure and confident in my relationship.
She never pushed for more sessions than I needed, always respecting my pace and goals. Thanks to her support, I now feel more in control of my thoughts, and excited about the future. Working with her has been genuinely life-changing. Thank you!'
'I can’t thank Josie enough for the incredible support and guidance she has given me through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). When I first started working with her, I was struggling with anxiety and symptoms of PTSD from a past trauma. Josie’s kindness and genuine care created a safe space for me to open up, and her expertise helped me challenge the beliefs that were holding me back.
Through our collaborative work, I was able to process the trauma and gain a deeper understanding of my thoughts and emotions. Josie empowered me with practical tools and strategies, which have not only helped me overcome the trauma but also given me the confidence to move forward in life. I now feel in control of my life and better equipped to handle challenges. I’m truly grateful for the transformative impact she has had on my journey.'
