BPsySc(Hons); M.Couns (underway). Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Advanced Clinical Training - Level 1)

Josephine brings a warm, non-judgemental presence to therapy and works collaboratively with clients to better understand their needs, preferences, and patterns within relationships. A neuro-affirming counsellor, she is deeply passionate about helping neurodiverse and neurotypical individuals and couples to improve the way they communicate. She helps people feel safe enough to explore difficult conversations while building the skills needed for deeper connection.

As a neurodiverse counsellor, Josephine has a particular interest in supporting neurodiverse individuals and couples. She takes a neuro-affirming approach, helping partners better understand how differences in communication, sensory processing, and emotional experience can shape relationship dynamics. Many couples find that developing this shared understanding opens the door to greater compassion and teamwork.

Josephine also works comfortably with couples exploring relationship structures and styles of intimacy. She approaches these conversations with openness, professionalism, and respect, creating a safe space for couples to thoughtfully explore what works best safely, sanely, and consensually.

In her work, Josephine draws on person-centred therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and gradual confidence-building through gentle exposure to new experiences. She believes that meaningful change happens when people feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.

A safe and trusted pair of hands, Josephine holds multiple qualifications which undergird her practice - she has completed a bachelor degree in Psychological Science (with Honours), and undertaken Advanced Clinical Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. She has further deepened her understanding and skill through a Masters of Counselling degree, which is currently nearing completion. Whilst technically a ‘provisional’ counsellor, her years of study and professional development - as well as her in-depth personal experiences of neurodiversity - position her as a highly accomplished and deeply understanding practitioner.

Outside of the therapy room, Josephine enjoys writing and reading, and while she resists calling herself a cinephile, she has a deep appreciation for film and storytelling. She also enjoys bouldering and rock climbing with her partner, going to the gym with her mother, and occasionally losing track of time over a game of solitaire.

Josephine offers both in-person and Telehealth (ie Zoom) appointments.
