About Josephine
Josephine Cleverly is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Josephine also offers support around parenting, grief, addiction, and career concerns.
She trained with a BA in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling in Lancashire and a Masters in Integrative Counselling in Melbourne. Much of her work has been in a large international school in Singapore, where she supported a varied caseload of adults and young people. That role included supporting people affected by domestic violence and trauma.
Her integrative approach means she draws on several well-known therapeutic traditions rather than following a single model. Examples she uses include attachment ideas, play techniques, person-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods, and solution-focused conversations. She mixes these to suit what a client needs in sessions.
In sessions she keeps things person-led and practical. Some people use talk alone, while others bring drawings, role-play or simple activities to make difficult feelings easier to talk about. She also has experience working alongside children and young people with additional needs and with their siblings and families.
Josephine asks clients to choose an online therapy option and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Josephine commonly draws on attachment ideas and cognitive behavioural methods. Attachment-focused work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice how early connections shape current reactions. Cognitive behavioural methods focus on practical steps to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours that keep anxiety or low mood going.She approaches this work collaboratively. Together with clients she will consider which methods best fit their goals, preferences and the problems they are bringing. That means trying things, checking how they land, and adjusting the way sessions are run based on feedback.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as the biography does not specify formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break or not needing to travel to appointments. Some people prefer video for face-to-face contact, while others find a phone or audio call better when they want less focus on being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use these choices to help match therapy to everyday routines and practical needs.
