Josephine is a great listener and offers deep and helpful insights, so I feel comfortable and very engaged with our sessions. The session environment is non-judgemental and kind, and that helps me build trust. I've only had four sessions with her so far, but I'm already seeing progress. I'd very strongly recommend her.

More about Josephine
- 5 years' experience

Hello my name is Josephine and I am a Psychodynamic therapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychologists).
I am happy to work with you on BH mostly via messaging.
I have a deep interest in exploring the roots of difficult feelings and behaviours. We often get stuck repeating patterns of thought and behaviour which can leave us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Therapy may help us notice these patterns and gain a deeper appreciation of how and why we acquire them. With this new found space, we can offer alternatives to ourselves in how we are able to acknowledge and respond to our distress.
Together we will begin uncovering unconscious processes which are likely to be showing up in your life. With this new found knowledge we can move forward in resolving difficult relationships and ways of being in the world.
I have worked with people from a range of cultural backgrounds and have extensive experience working in several diverse boroughs in London.
I have worked with people facing a wide range of issues including but not limited to:
Anxiety
Low mood & depression
Disordered eating
Bereavement and loss
OCD
Suicidality
Domestic abuse
Relationships
Shame
Anger
Childhood and other trauma (including relational/attachment trauma, transgenerational trauma, sexual abuse, neglect, homelessness, torture/war/loss of home, loss of status/family, major life transitions, move from one country to another/culture to another)
My aim as a therapist is to be authentic and to communicate with you honestly and openly.
It is not often that we are able to give ourselves a specific, intentional space each week in order to reflect and ‘just be’. It is a privileged space and we will work together to honour this by speaking openly about how the therapy is going. Please see my website below for more information on me and how I practice.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
