Joe Moran, MBACP, UKCP, MA & Dipl Couns Psych, Dipl Couple Therapy, BA (Hons)
Email meAbout me
Joe Moran is a UKCP registered Psychotherapist working in private practice for the past 14 years. He practices at HQ Therapy Consulting Rooms in Haggerston, East London offering short to long-term counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples focused on each client or couple's particular needs and goals. Joe works with a varied client group from a range of social, cultural and professional backgrounds.
Joe is experienced in working with issues related to depression, anxiety, relationships, family, employment, career and personal finance, life crisis and life changes, loss and bereavement, sexuality and sexual identity, addictions and spiritual concerns. In his work, Joe uses an 'integrative' approach, drawing upon humanist, psychodynamic, existential and transpersonal approaches in which he trained. Joe also works extensively with those working in the arts and the creative and cultural industries.
Joe views counselling and psychotherapy offers a supportive and dynamic space for reflection and self-inquiry: a catalyst to stimulate change and growth; an opportunity to consciously address habitual patterns that limit us; a challenge to identify what we want and what we need; and a resource from which to realise goals in our daily lives. Counselling will tend to be shorter term concerned with tackling a specific issue or set of concerns, with psychotherapy offering a broader, holistic approach addressing more deep-seated issues.

Joe trained at the Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) in West London. He holds a Masters degree, Postgraduate Diploma and Certificate in Counselling and Psychotherapy, as well as a Post-Certification Diploma in Couple Therapy.

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.
