About Josephine
Josephine Ellis brings 13 years of experience working with people across a range of emotional challenges. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful. Josephine writes plainly and listens closely so people can tell their stories in their own words.
Her practice focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with grief, major life changes, parenting stress and career concerns. Josephine pays attention to how past attachments and body image issues can affect daily life. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors sessions to the person in front of her.
Conversations look at practical coping strategies, ways to notice unhelpful patterns, and small steps that build confidence. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Josephine also works with people experiencing obsessive thoughts, dissociation, eating and food-related issues, and symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress.
She aims to help people make sense of difficult experiences and find clearer ways to move forward. Sessions are offered in English and Josephine can work with international clients. She encourages anyone who is nervous about starting therapy to take one small step and see how talking things through can help.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Josephine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape her online work. One common approach she uses focuses on helping people recognise and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can ease symptoms of depression, anxiety and obsessive thinking. Another emphasises processing traumatic experiences in small, paced steps so memories feel less overwhelming and everyday functioning can improve.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has felt helpful or unhelpful in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls make it possible to see facial cues and build rapport while avoiding travel time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, timely exchanges and make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or childcare commitments.
