Understanding what to expect can help ease some of the uncertainty. Here's a little about how we might work together.
Sessions last an hour and take place weekly, which helps build continuity and momentum in our work together.
I offer sessions in-person and online at £65 per hour.
In-person sessions provide a dedicated, calm space where you can step away from the everyday. Online sessions offer flexibility and can be just as effective, particularly if travel or time constraints are a consideration.
In sessions, we will work in collaboration to find the approach that will work best for you and your needs – it’s your journey. Because my practice is integrative, I draw from multiple different modalities, including:
Before you commit, I offer a free 20 minute consultation via phone or Zoom as an opportunity for us to meet and for you to share a little about what has brought you to counselling. There is no pressure to dive into difficult topics right away—we take things at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You're welcome to read more about Josie's background and approach before getting in touch.
There's no set timeline for counselling. Some people find a few sessions helpful; others prefer longer-term work. What matters is that we move at a pace that feels right for you. You're always in control of what we explore and when.
Everything we discuss remains confidential. This creates a safe space where you can speak freely. There are very rare exceptions to this—if I believe someone's safety is at risk—but I would always aim to discuss this with you first.
Counselling can be helpful for anyone who feels they would benefit from a dedicated space to talk, reflect, and be heard. You don't need a specific diagnosis or to be in crisis to seek support.
You might be dealing with something specific—a difficult experience, a relationship that's troubling you, or emotions that feel hard to manage, or you might simply feel that something isn't quite right.
Whatever brings you here, you're welcome. Counselling is for anyone who feels ready to explore what's happening for them, in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.

If you have questions or would like to arrange an initial conversation, I'd be happy to hear from you. There's no obligation—just a chance to connect.
A few reflections from clients
“Josie has helped me to transform my life. It took me a very long time to reach out for help relating to a childhood trauma. With Josie’s kindness, patience, empathy and professionalism, I have been able to piece together the jigsaw pieces which had been scattered across my life. The therapy journey isn’t always an easy one. Josie is a wonderful companion to travel along with you on that journey and help you to stop feeling lost and to find the “self” you’ve been looking for.”
“Working with Josie has been life changing for me. After 30 years of battling depression and anxiety in various forms I had pretty much given up hope. Then I was referred to see Josie and finally I have been able to see the reasoning behind my feelings. Her warmth, empathy, understanding, and amazing insight makes her an excellent counsellor. Her quiet guidance whilst allowing me to be totally open without ever feeling judged was incredible.”
“I had always thought that therapy wasn’t for me and I went to my first few sessions believing that it wouldn’t help me. Josie was patient and let me go at my own speed. This really helped me to trust her and the process.”
“Josie is brilliant! I have been working in Mental Health services for over 15 years and had always found the advice I gave hard to make a priority in my own life. Josie helped me to understand why this was difficult for me and that, in turn, has allowed me make changes and get my life back.”
“I said I’d only do 3 sessions, and I ended up doing 9! Right in my exams too. Josie felt like a real person to talk to.”
“Josie helped me to feel found when I had felt lost for so long.”
