Josephine Ansell

I am a person-centred counsellor who works primarily with individuals. 

I can help with relationship and emotional issues and have a specialism in bereavement and loss. 

I work from a dedicated room at the back of my home in Stevenage and my preference is to see client face to face in my room. However if circumstances require, I may undertake home visits or work remotely via Skype or Zoom. 

Before our first session we will have a short phone call to make sure I am a suitable counsellor for you and arrange an appointment. At our first session I will listen to you to try to understand what you are struggling with and we will talk about whether counselling with me help. We can then make a further appointment(s) if you would like to. It is your counselling and your choice when it starts and also when it finishes.   

I am qualified in individual person centred therapy and transpersonal couples therapy. I have a supervision certificate from Cruse Bereavement Care. Besides my private practice, since qualification my experience has been in bereavement support with Cruse, as a counsellor and manager in two hospices and as a counsellor in a women's centre.  I have many years experience of supporting and developing people in many different settings and more than 6 years experience in clinical supervision. I am also a trainer in counselling the bereaved. 

I work from a dedicated room at the back of my house in Stevenage for those who prefer to see me in person. The room is small but has a its own entrance, is cleaned between clients and has a open window. 

I can also offer supervision via Skype or Zoom for those who prefer it but will only work with people from my local area, for example, Stevenage, North/East/Mid Herts.    

During our first supervision session we will get to know each other a bit. You will be able to present your clients and experience what my supervision is like so that you can decide whether you would like me to continue as your supervisor in the longer term.
