About me
Getting the most out of life feels so tough when you feel like you’re treading water. Perhaps to others it looks like you’ve got everything you need, but underneath you’re aware of a different truth.
-You struggle to concentrate, especially at work
-You find it hard to be assertive, and avoid conflict at all costs
-You don't feel like you can be yourself in front of work colleagues and family members
-You are living day to day, without having the energy to consider what your future looks like
-You constantly replay past conversations in your head
-You repeat the same mistakes time and time again
You’ve probably tried other methods of healing, and take better care of yourself than you did in your 20’s…but something still feels like it’s missing.
Now you’re ready to do the deep work; the work that will remind you of who you really are.
IFS therapy with me helps you overcome internal conflict and teaches you to work with, rather than against all of your feelings, thoughts and behaviours.
-You'll wake up with more energy and less of that heavy fog that used to sit on your chest.
-You'll stop going over every conversation and start trusting your instincts again.
-You'll say “no” without guilt, ask for what you need, and feel at ease in your own company.
-The pull to keep everyone else comfortable fades, and instead you begin to feel more you — steady, grounded, and quietly confident.
-Life won’t feel like constant effort anymore; it feels more honest, more spacious, more yours.
Training, qualifications & experience
Hello, I’m Joe.
I’m an IFS therapist who works with sensitive people who have been battling under the surface for far too long.
I specialise in supporting adults with ADHD traits, emotional overwhelm, RSD, perfectionism, shame, and masking. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer a gentle, affirming space for sensitive and neurodivergent clients to understand their inner world, regulate emotions, and build self-trust.
Whether diagnosed or self-identifying, you’re welcome here. Online therapy across the UK.
My core training is in person-centred therapy with both Manchester and Bolton Colleges, and I've since retrained in IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy) to a Level 1 equivalent standard. I offer a blended approach depending on what the client needs!
I offer online therapy in the UK and to clients all throughout Europe.
I’m Queer-affirming. I’m trained and vastly experienced in working with Queer men. I support clients who practice ethical non-monogamy and my practice is inclusive and affirming of diverse sexualities, relationships, and practices — including kink and BDSM.
I want to meet all of the parts of you and to help you make sense of them.
I’ve spent the past 8 years working with guys like you and I’ve learned a hell of a lot on the way.
Together we’ll take a really deep dive into you, and we’ll figure out why you feel the way you.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
