Meet Joel

Hi, I'm Joel, a BACP-Accredited Therapist, MBACP (Accred) and Certified Professional Coach (CPC) working in Clapham (London), Tonbridge (Kent) and online. I work with adults in short, medium and long term therapy for a range of issues, with particular interest in addictions, men's issues, codependency* and relationship 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 25+ year career in education, training, coaching and therapy, 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.​ Founder of Tonbridge Counselling Hub, supporting the local community with therapists that offer face-to-face, online and outdoor counselling, who offer a number of lower cost spaces for those who cannot afford full cost.

​

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.​

​

My practice can be described as integrative and relational with a person-centred core. The person-centered tradition believes individuals have a natural tendency towards their own well-being and growth, and that my job as a therapist is to help you connect or reconnect with this powerful human driver.

I offer a free 20 minute initial chat, to find out if we may be a good fit to work together and to answer any questions you may have.​ I look forward to hearing from you. Please can contact me here.
