About Josephine
Josephine Cleverly is a counsellor with six years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP accreditation and draws on a background in psychology, psychotherapy and counselling to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
She trained at BA level in Lancashire and completed a Masters in Integrative Counselling in Melbourne, Australia. Her work has included time as a school counsellor at a large international school in Singapore, where she supported a varied range of people and presenting problems.
Background and approach
Josephine uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment ideas, play therapy, person-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work. That mix allows her to match methods to each person rather than using a single fixed style.
Her practice often addresses issues linked to family life, parenting, grief, intimacy and compassion fatigue, as well as conditions such as ADHD and autism spectrum needs. She has experience supporting adults and young people who have experienced domestic violence and trauma, and has worked with children and young people with additional needs and their siblings.
Sessions combine conversation and creative options so people can process thoughts and feelings in ways that feel natural. Josephine aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate while helping people find clearer ways forward. Taking the first step can feel hard.
She supports people through goal setting, practical coping strategies and ongoing reflection so they can move toward a more manageable, fulfilling life.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Josephine will work collaboratively to identify goals and test methods that suit each person's needs, preferences and pace. Together they will adapt the mix of techniques as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility about how and when to connect. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping consistency in ongoing support.
