Therapy in London & Kent:

Freedom to Be.

Meet Joel

Hi, I’m Joel, a BACP Registered Therapist and Certified Professional Coach (CPC) offering

in-person therapy in Clapham (London) and Tonbridge (Kent), as well as online therapy

and Walk & Talk therapy. I work with a range of issues including anxiety, depression and

trauma/PTSD, and particular experience working with addictions, men's issues, relationship

and codependency* issues.

*Codependency is being overly focused on taking care of others at the expense of one's own happiness, often relying on the approval of others for sense of worth.

With a 20+ years career in education and training, I'm passionate about education and all forms of personal growth, supporting people in different contexts to develop themselves and be fulfilled in their lives.

My style is relaxed, friendly, empathic and creative. I love stimulating insight and self-awareness with clients, often using different tools and techniques in sessions to support this.

As an integrative therapist, I use various techniques and approaches to best suit your unique needs and preferences - this may involve developing mindfulness practices, exploring childhood relationships (psychodynamic), examining present-day thought and behaviour patterns (cognitive-behavioral), along with creative methods like visualizations and art/drawing.

My aim is to help you overcome your current life and relationship challenges, to move forward in your life; to be happy and fulfilled.

How I Work

I believe that empathy, realness and respect are the bedrock of effective therapy. However, there’s no standard “one size fits all” in therapy. As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of tools and modalities (e.g., psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, humanistic, creative) tailored specifically to your unique individual circumstances, experiences and needs.

In your first session, we’ll talk about your mental health history, and get really clear about your reasons and goals for therapy. Therapy can help you understand unwanted patterns of behaviour and relationships, promoting self-awareness and acceptance, improving resilience, and enhancing your relationships. I'm here to chat with you about any issue in a safe space built on trust and respect.
