After suffering from no confidence, low self esteem and serious worthiness issues (amongst other issues) throughout my life, I reached a point where I needed serious help in resolving these as they were causing huge problems for me – I could not have found a better psychotherapist than Josephine to help and assist me.

Professional yet warm, personable and very understanding, she took the time to get to know me & understand my afflictions fully in order to best help me move forward. It was not easy, sometimes very upsetting & difficult emotionally but I always felt better about myself and my situation having had spent an hour’s session with Josephine.

She has a very empathetic nature and is absolutely non-judgmental, she at times went above and beyond in her work with me and I owe a great deal to this talented lady and will forever be grateful for the positive impact that she has had in my and my wife’s life. I would (and have done!) recommend her to anyone needing assistance in their life.

After spending a lot of my life filled with anxiety, self doubt and sadness I decided to seek help from Josephine. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Looking back I barely recognise the person I was when I first began therapy with Josephine. I now can't imagine living with that level of fear, stress and self loathing. I have taken control of my life and move closer to achieving my goals everyday. Josephine has equipped me with strategies that suit me. She is not only warm, friendly and approachable but creative, insightful, intelligent and bespoke in her approach. I would highly recommend J M C Psychotherapy. Josephine you have enabled me to change my life!

I went to Josephine with a lot of uncertainty in my mind as I didn't really know what Psychotherapy was but I'd heard great things about her so went along for a chat. Josephine put me at ease and encouraged me to talk in a relaxed environment.

Despite being unsure about what help I needed, I found I opened up quickly under her guidance and she's a fantastic listener. More importantly, when I found myself getting upset or embarrassed, she made me feel reassured and not judged in the slightest which is exactly what I needed and the main reason I kept going back.

Josephine steadily navigated me through a process which, although upsetting and emotionally challenging at times, was very much needed and helped me make sense of things that had been hanging over me for years. I hadn't realised how much emotional baggage I was carrying around with me and how much strength and energy this required of me each day, holding me back from achieving other, more positive things in life.

With Josephine's support and guidance I feel as though a weight has been lifted, I've been able to improve relationships and gained a whole new, much more positive perspective which I'm now using to achieve things I've been putting off for years!

I can't thank Josephine enough, having someone truly listen to you, in a safe confidential environment and reassure you that it's all going to be okay is just priceless.

Josephine is a fantastic lady who is always able to listen with empathy. She has a broad view of the world- you will not shock her...
I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to improve themselves in any small way- you might be surprised what psychotherapy can change in your life.
Her approach is versatile and flexible and she will alter your sessions to suit what works best for you.
I am incredibly grateful to her for the difference she has made to my life- I see my sessions as an investment in myself.

I can't thank Josephine enough for how my life has transformed over the past 12 months. I've gone from somebody who was planning a way out of this world to now loving life and living it to the full. I am following my dreams and my confidence has soared. Josephine has helped me unlock my potential and not be afraid to use it. I've never felt so excited about living. Thank You! X

Josephine helped me peel away the years of layered poor projected sense of self and a warped negative self- image. With Josephine's creative methods, her warmth and patience she taught me that childhood trauma distorted my view on the world, including my interaction with other and in turn put me on a secure road to a hopeful and healthy future. She is awesome!

In writing this I just wanted to thank Josephine for all her help and continuing support.
Before contacting Josephine, I had read many self help books, in the hope of finding a way forward. They amounted to just words on a piece of paper, and hard to make sense of. at times. Josephine helped to give those words meaning and clarity, opening up new dialogue, resulted in a better understanding of what was going on in my life. Her no nonsense, straight talking, and yet, quiet disposition, formed a platform on which problems were gently analysed. Josephine possesses deep awareness, sensitivity, and perception. Enabling her to understand, empathises and connect with people. Her experiences are far reaching and professional. Yet she is a modest person, who has the ability to help empower, heal and calm a troubled soul.
I personally have a lot to thank Josephine for.

Thank you!

I cannot recommend Josephine enough, she has been an enormous help to me, a true anchor in trouble seas. Not only has she helped me to deal with issues but has helped me grow as a person and for that I will be eternally grateful.
