About me
Hi, I'm Josh, a BACP registered 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
- relationship challenges
- social anxiety
- low self-esteem
- loss and bereavement
- ADHD and neurodiversity
- gender and sexuality issues
- trauma - whether developmental or adult
I’ve spent much of my life exploring the landscape of the inner world—the grief and joy, the stuckness and movement, the longing and the letting go. I come to this work with an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Certificate in Couple Counselling, but also with years of lived inquiry: through somatic practices, embodied movement, 12-step rooms, plant medicine journeys, silent meditation, truth-telling, and the wild, tender terrain of relationship.
I believe therapy is a place where the soul can breathe—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 home to yourself.
I’m a white man walking his own path of learning around power, privilege, and intersectionality, and 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
I help people work through emotional difficulties by combining a range of therapeutic approaches, with a strong focus on AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy). My work is grounded in the understanding that healing occurs when we access and process the emotions beneath anxiety, depression, and self-defeating patterns.
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 and supportive 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, guiding you through them in a way that brings insight, relief, and lasting change. The goal isn’t just understanding but real transformation: helping you feel more connected to yourself, more in charge of your life, and better able to navigate challenges with confidence and clarity.

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.
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.

Additional information
Our first session is completely free and is a great opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s going on in your life right now, what’s brought you to therapy, and and get a sense of some of the broader picture of your journey. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions you have about me, my approach, or therapy in general. If we both feel that we’re a good fit, we’ll discuss the next steps, including what feels like a fair fee for our work together. The aim is for you to feel comfortable and clear about the process moving forward.
