Relational Counselling in W9

I am a psychotherapist accredited UKCP experienced at treating emotional and psychological issues. Until 2021 I divided my time between private practice and the NHS, where I was Principal Psychotherapist for a large NHS Trust. Now in full time private practice I have extensive experience of assessing and treating people from a variety of backgrounds whose problems range from severe and complex to more easily treatable problems including: Self-esteem, personal development, depression, anxiety, addictions, self-harm, personality problems and family and relationship concerns.

Hello my name is Josephine. I offer Relational - Traumatophilic - Psychotherapy online - I work with people facing a wide range of issues including but not limited to: anxiety, low mood & depression, disordered eating, OCD presentations, bereavement, loss, suicidality, identity-related issues (sexual, gender, race), relationship difficulties, shame, anger, childhood and other trauma (including relational/attachment trauma, C-PTSD, 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)

Each individual’s experience with mental health is both nuanced and unique to them, which is why applying general labels as a way to describe your difficulties can feel reductive. As a relational integrative therapist, I integrate and tailor evidence-based psychological interventions, drawing knowledge from diverse schools of thought, to optimally create the most supportive approach to best suits your needs. Some of my main specialist areas include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, phobias, cultural and identity-related concerns and personal development.

I am a BACP licensed Counselling Psychotherapist. I offer a safe and confidential space for both short-term and long-term relational therapy. I am warm and down to earth in my approach, and I aim to provide a therapeutic space whereby you will feel seen and heard and safe to explore. I draw from a variety of theories depending on your needs as an individual but my focus is on the relationship; it is my belief that this is where the healing can be found.

Want to feel like your normal self again? Sometimes a listening ear and understanding is what you need. I am here to offer you my time, respect and acceptance. I use an integrative approach - tailoring the therapy to my client's needs, and not the client to one specific approach. I am fully qualified and experienced in both short-term and long-term face-to-face therapy. I create a good therapeutic relationship with each client, normalising individuality in a comfortable space. I work in a completely confidential, non-judgemental, fair and equal manner.

I am a psychoanalytic child and adolescent psychotherapist working with children, teenagers, young adults (0 -25 years) and parents. I am invested in providing an emotionally supportive thinking space, using an integrative and adaptable way of working that is tailored to each individual’s or family’s needs and emotional pace. I aim to facilitate the capacity to deepen an understanding of oneself within the context of a safe therapeutic relationship, enhancing emotional resilience. I am currently working part time in an NHS clinic that specialises in trauma as well as an adolescent (12-25yrs) psychotherapy clinic.

As a clinical psychotherapist,​ I have over 10 year’s experience of working with patients and clients with many different struggles and difficulties. Trained as an integrative therapist, I work in a unique way that is based on your own individual needs. I believe that everyone is different and not every modality suits everyone. I know only too well how difficult life can be, yet uniquely different, we all suffer pain and loss in many similar ways. I feel truly humbled to work in this field and would be honoured to support you. You are not alone.

Do you feel challenged by different aspects of life such as healing past trauma, managing difficult relationships, handling stressors, or managing anxiety and building confidence, in yourself and your future? People come to psychotherapy to address specific problems they may be experiencing and often to pursue personal growth and development. Therapy can help us make links between past and present experiences to better understand and address our difficulties in the here and now. My approach incorporates compassion and insight, you can explore and express your emotions freely and begin to envision what is possible in a safe space.

Offering a genuine, caring, honest & confidential space, where everyone's unique journey is respected. Helping you move towards a fulfilling sense of the world, empowering you in personal growth, and cultivating your sense of self. With a background rooted in the arts I welcome a creative space for exploration, a passion for guiding individuals towards their brightest selves. A therapeutic space that prioritises mindful investigation, and emotional awareness. Offering a non-judgemental, presence & openness, with empathy & compassion. working with valuable life tools, insights and perspectives.

I am a Clinical Psychologist specialising in working with individuals and couples presenting with sexual and relationship difficulties. I have a background of working in NHS Sexual Health services, and am experienced in supporting people presenting with pain during sex, vaginismus, vulvodynia, low desire, concerns about libido, difficulties related to orgasm, unreliable erections, and anxiety about sex and relationships. The psychological therapy I provide is evidence-based and draws on a variety of approaches including CBT, CFT, Systemic Family Therapy, Sex Therapy techniques and Psychodynamically-informed Therapy.

Looking to learn more about yourself? Would you like to address a particular mood or thoughts that are consuming your mind? Our unconscious mind can influence us more than we think... "what you resist persists" If you are tired of feeling stuck, going around in circles trying to figure out how to make the “right” choices for yourself, feel more balanced and mindful, then is time to take actions. In our sessions we would work together exploring meaning beyond current and past situations to support awareness and inner freedom so you can achieve your goals and choose to become who you want to be .

In therapy I work with people to look at, understand and transform the disempowering beliefs they hold about life and themselves. People often find themselves stuck, lose meaning in their life, struggle with relationships, misplace a sense of who they are. I also offer a safe environment for people to look at their anger, including parental anger. I believe each one of us has got a collection of fears, anxieties and vulnerabilities collected since birth. No doubt we deploy any possible resource to defend against or ignore them. I find that psychotherapy's goal is showing a path to a lighter, more peaceful and vital way of being.

Welcome - You may need help with an emotional difficulty or a challenging experience or you just might not feeI quite 'right'. I aim to offer a safe, client-led, committed and sensitive space where you are free to explore whatever it is in your life that is calling for your attention and free to choose your course to connect you to a sense of purpose and meaning. I hold the overarching concept that life's challenges alongside our innate longing to live more abundantly offer opportunities for transformation. This can be difficult work but the benefits can be great.

I will listen to the experiences you bring of early life, behaviours, feelings, and the emotions that impact your present actions with understanding and acceptance. Yet I firmly believe that we are not irrevocably tethered to our past. I work with the interconnectedness of mind, body, and relationships, facilitating reflection and offering challenge and liberation.

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor and Accredited/Registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and Prof/Accred member of NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). I am also a BUPA Recognised and Fee Assured Mental Health and Well-being Practitioner and registered as a Health Provider with Nuffield Health, Aviva, AXA PPP and Vitality. My work experience includes working with minority, multicultural, neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ clients and the provision of Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity (GSRD) affirmative therapy.

Finding a therapist that "feels right" can be a daunting prospect at a time when you may already be feeling overwhelmed. I offer a space that is safe and without judgement, where you can start to make sense of your feelings. I am interested in how we relate to each other and what makes us connect as human beings. Working relationally, I take notice of what happens between us as this will reveal something of your relationships with other people. I believe that once we gain a better understanding of our experience and what motivates us, we can make new choices, rather than being driven by old patterns of behaviour.

Perhaps all in life is well, but there's an underlining feeling that "something is not right" or "I'm just not happy". This might be the point at which we turn within and ask ourselves some questions... In my experience, it can take some time and space to make sense of our thoughts and feelings and to discover what is truly important to us in our life.
