About Josephine

Josephine Ellis helps people address relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem, depression and motivation by working collaboratively and drawing on clients' strengths. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years' experience in practice.

Josephine uses straightforward conversational work to help people talk about what matters to them. She encourages practical steps alongside reflection. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building coping strategies and trying out different ways of responding to difficult situations.

Her background includes long-term work with people affected by trauma, grief and relationship breakdown. She has supported clients through eating and body image concerns, attachment difficulties and issues such as obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviours. This experience shapes how she notices and names unhelpful patterns in daily life.

Josephine also works with people facing major life changes, career stresses and parenting strain, as well as those living with seasonal mood shifts and post‑traumatic stress symptoms. She pays attention to the practical effects of these problems, for example sleep, routines and day-to-day coping.

Her practice is conversational and goal oriented. Clients can expect clear discussion of options, short-term techniques to try between sessions, and ongoing review of what helps most. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Josephine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. She uses conversational, problem-focused methods that look at current patterns and practical coping strategies; these approaches help with anxiety, stress, mood and everyday functioning. She also draws on trauma-focused techniques that attend to how past distress affects present life, which can be helpful for people with experiences of abuse or post‑traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different ways of working, test methods that fit your goals, and adjust the plan as you notice what helps. This is a collaborative process based on what you want to change and what feels manageable.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or parenting, cut travel time and offer more flexible scheduling. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or audio-only meetings when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular contact and make steady progress.
