Hello, my name is Josephine (she/her). I am a Psychologist and I help people feel empowered to understand and recover from the impacts of difficult (and even awful) life experiences. I also support people who identify as neurodivergent to cope with the impacts of living in a neurotypical world.
​
The majority of my practice focuses on:
-
ADHD and Autism
-
chronic illness
-
anxiety and depression ​
​
My clients often come to therapy feeling broken, but after working together, they typically feel stronger, and more able to move ahead with life.
More about my work
I am trained in several therapeutic modalities, with my primary focus being on providing trauma-informed care regardless of which modality I use. Outside of work, I embrace dancing, music, and creativity, especially yarn crafts. I bring these parts of myself into my therapeutic practice; my being aware of movement, body-sensations, artistic expression, and sensory experiences.​

For those who love to nerd out on therapy
I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from the following evidence-based modalities:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)​​
-
Narrative Therapy​
-
Positive Psychology
-
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
-
Somatic Psychotherapy-informed
​
I practice from a position of warmth, compassion, collaboration and respect. I am trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and neuro-affirming.​
