Whatever you're going through,
you don't have to go through it alone.
Welcome
Counselling/ Psychotherapy
Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes we all need someone to talk to. I'm Josephine - a qualified, compassionate counsellor dedicated to helping explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a non-judgmental and confidential environment.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, or relationship challenges; struggling with neurodiversity, or simply seeking clarity, this is a place where your story matters. Together, we’ll work at your pace to explore why you are looking for support right now, to find ways to address your issues, begin healing, and help you move forward with renewed hope and energy.
I also offer Creative Therapy where carefully designed activities help you regain your own voice, counter perfectionism and increase your self confidence.
Whatever it is you're going through, you don't have to go through it alone.
Coaching
Integrated Therapeutic Coaching is similar to counselling but the emphasis is less on emotional depth and more on finding your direction, setting realistic goals and working towards achieving them.
Supervision
I provide supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists. I am particularly interested in those who are newly qualified or in their first few years.

Testimonials
"It was at my lowest point that I
contacted Josephine,
and it has been genuinely life changing.
I am now in a place where I feel free from
the anxiety that I was overcome with in the past.
Thank you so much"
A, Harrogate
I will never have the words to
properly thank Josephine
for all she's done for me.
I genuinely don't know where I'd be now if
I hadn't reached out.
She helped me pick myself up and figure out where all the pieces were supposed to fit.
I know I couldn't have done that alone.
I am myself again,
and she played such a vital role in this journey.
N, Harrogtae
"The best therapy
I've ever had."
S, York
"I've never been able to tell anyone those things until now.
I have gained contentment.
Thank you"
B, Harrogate
"I feel more like me than I have ever done"
H, Wetherby
About Me
Before training as a counsellor I was in education for thirty years, where I created and developed relationships that enabled people to grow, develop and thrive.
Now, as a therapist I create nurturing relationships with clients who are unable to thrive, so that they can begin healing and find peace of mind.
I provide a safe space, both physically and emotionally, where I meet clients to listen without judgement and help them feel better.
When I'm not working I enjoy painting in watercolours and acrylic, listening to music and sometimes I write. I love being by the sea, exploring quiet beaches, or simply being in my garden with a cuppa, listening to the birds.
