Josephine Patten-Walsh, BACP

Josephine Patten-Walsh is a BACP-accredited psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with ten years of clinical experience supporting adults, couples and adolescents through a wide range of challenges. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and life changes, addictions, family and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar presentations and compassion fatigue, as well as many related areas such as attachment difficulties, neurodivergence, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Practising with an integrative, trauma-informed sensibility, she combines contemporary cognitive behavioural techniques with attachment-based and client-centered work, and brings additional training in AEDP - a trauma-informed integrative approach that links neurobiology with psychotherapy. Her practice also draws on creative interventions and her ongoing study of PTSD and complex trauma, along with research into the mental health impact of neurodivergence and minority stress related to migration.

Josephine holds qualifications that enable work with adults, adolescents, couples and clinical supervisees, and she maintains an enhanced DBS status for work with children and vulnerable adults. Her BACP accreditation indicates demonstrated proficiency within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework, and a clinical supervision qualification underlines her professional standards. She offers both short-term and longer-term therapy tailored to each person’s needs, though she is not currently accepting new clients.
