About me

He works with couples and individuals offering short to long-term counselling and psychotherapy focused upon each client’s needs and goals. Joe works with a varied client group with those from a range of social, cultural and professional backgrounds and is committed to anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive, sex-positive and trans-inclusive practice. He also works with organisations facilitating learning and development processes, as a clinical supervisor with individual psychotherapists and groups, and is a guest lecturer and facilitator working with diploma and postgraduate student therapists. Joe has a professional background in the arts and charity sectors working in leadership, project management, governance and consultancy capacities, and has strong interests in community organising, participation and social justice.
Joe is experienced in working with issues related to depression and anxiety, relationships, family, work, career and personal finance, inequity and discrimination, life crisis and life changes, trauma, loss and bereavement, sexuality and sexual identity, addiction in many forms and growing up in a home where addiction is present, spirituality and spiritual concerns. Joe’s approach is ‘integrative’ and relational drawing upon humanist, psychodynamic, existential, systemic and transpersonal approaches in which he trained.

When I work
I currently have morning availability for couples in person at my practice, HQ Therapy in Haggerston (a few minutes from Haggerston station on Kingsland Road between Shoreditch and Dalston).
Further information
An initial session is an opportunity to explore the concerns that are bringing one to seek counselling or psychotherapy, what an appropriate timeframe may be, how counselling or therapy might proceed and a chance to see whether the therapist and client will work well together.
Should an initial session not to lead to working together, referrals to other counsellors and therapists may be offered.
For couples, the first session will culminate in an offer to the couple to go away and think if it feels right for them or the offer of a six-twelve week initial contract. At six or twelve weeks, there will be a review to consider completing at that stage or continuing on.
