About me

My name is Dr Umesh Joshi. I’m a Consultant Psychologist in the NHS and a Teaching Fellow at King’s College London. My private practice is based in Medical London by Harley Street. I believe that everyone deserves access to mental health support that truly meets their needs, delivered with empathy, thoughtfulness, and a deep understanding of each individual’s unique story.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. My aim is to make that process easier by offering a calm, confidential space where we can explore what’s going on for you. Whether you’re still figuring things out or already know what you’d like to work on, I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you as we work towards change.

With over a decade of experience across NHS and private settings, I’ve supported children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds, and I bring a respectful, client-centred approach to every session. I’m trained in Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Systemic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, which means we can tailor our work to suit your needs rather than fitting you into a one-size-fits-all model.

I’m registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). If you’d like to learn more about how I work or have any questions, feel free to explore my website or get in touch with me directly. I look forward to working with you.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
