About Josephine
BACP counsellor with six years' experience. Josephine Cleverly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, life changes, addictions, grief, parenting concerns and work-related strain. She works with adults and young people and accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English.
Josephine trained with a BA in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling in Lancashire and a Masters in Integrative Counselling in Melbourne. She has worked several years as a school counsellor at an international school in Singapore. That role involved a wide range of presenting issues and experience working with children and young people with additional needs and their siblings and families.
Her approach is integrative. She combines attachment ideas, play therapy, person-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies. That mix is used to match the way a person prefers to work and the problems they bring.
Sessions centre on what the person wants to explore. Josephine uses talking, practical strategies and creative activities when helpful. She aims to make sessions a straightforward place to sort thoughts, notice patterns and try different ways of coping.
People who have experienced domestic violence and complex trauma form a large part of her background. Josephine also offers support for concerns such as anger, intimacy-related issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Practical steps and collaborative planning are used alongside reflective conversation.
Practical arrangements vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session using the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online work
Josephine draws on a small set of established approaches to guide her work. Attachment-informed work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions; it helps with trust, intimacy and relationship difficulties. Person-centred practice prioritises the person’s own perspectives and uses reflective conversation to clarify feelings and choices. Play therapy techniques and creative tasks offer non-verbal ways to process emotion and can be useful for clients who prefer activity-based work.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most useful and adjusts the plan as things progress. That means trying different techniques and checking in about what helps and what does not.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into busy schedules and the ability to meet with a therapist when location is a barrier. The exact session formats supported should be confirmed before booking since they are not specified in the biography. The subscription model in her practice allows sessions to be scheduled around work, school or family commitments and can be cancelled at any time.
