About me
Hi, I'm Josh, a BACP-accredited integrative psychotherapist and counsellor.
I provide a safe, supportive, engaging space where we can work together to examine the things that are troubling you. I have worked extensively with people dealing with:
- anxiety
- depression
- addiction
- obsessive thoughts and compulsions
- relationship challenges
- social anxiety
- low self-esteem
- loss and bereavement
- ADHD and neurodiversity
- gender and sexuality issues
- trauma - whether developmental or adult
I’m curious about your inner world and I aim to be alongside you as we explore it together: the griefs and the joys, the stuckness and movement, the longing and the letting go. I come to this work with an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Certificate in Couple Counselling, and a background as a medical doctor. I also bring years of lived inquiry through somatic practices, embodied movement, 12-step rooms, plant medicine journeys, silent meditation, Zen, process groups, and all the loves and losses that are part of being human.
I believe therapy is a place where something real can unfold between us. I don’t promise to have all the answers, but I do offer my full presence and the skills to help you find your way to a version of yourself that you can be proud of.
As a white man walking his own path of learning around power, privilege, and intersectionality, I aim to bring that awareness gently into the space we share.
Whether you arrive carrying pain, confusion, or a quiet longing for something more, I’m here to meet you with honesty, care, and a willingness to listen - to what’s said, and to what’s waiting in the silence.
My Approach
My work is grounded in the understanding that healing occurs when we access and process the emotions beneath anxiety, depression, and self-defeating patterns. I’ll help you work through emotional difficulties by combining a range of therapeutic approaches, with a strong focus on AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy).
In our sessions, I’ll help you slow down and tune into what you're really feeling - especially those emotions that are often just below the surface or hard to name. This process may bring up defenses or automatic ways of coping, and that’s completely okay. We’ll explore these reactions together with curiosity and care, creating a space for you to feel heard and understood.
I take an active approach - this isn’t therapy where I just sit back and listen. I’ll be right there with you, engaging with the emotions and challenges that arise, helping you explore them in a way that brings insight, relief, and lasting change. The goal of our work is not just superficial understanding or cognitive insight, but real transformation: helping you feel more connected to yourself and others, more in charge of your life, more open, and more free.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
