Hi, I’m Josh. I work with adults experiencing trauma, CPTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic stress, and chronic health difficulties. My approach is trauma-informed, body-mind oriented, and compassion-focused. I use Buddhist Psychotherapy as a non-religious framework, integrating counselling, mindfulness, emotional processing, and somatic practices. I also draw from EMDR, Brainspotting, Flash Technique, Emotion-Focused Therapy, IFS-informed parts work, Focusing, Havening, EFT/Meridian Tapping, clinical hypnosis, and Qigong-informed practices, tailored to each client’s needs.
I offer a safe, respectful space to help you process trauma, regulate emotions, reconnect with your body, and understand inner patterns. Therapy is tailored to your needs, using body-mind, compassion-focused, and evidence-informed approaches to support healing, integration, and self-understanding.
If you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that are hard to change, therapy can help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and sense of wholeness. I warmly welcome clients from diverse backgrounds, including migrants, refugees, and the LGBTQIA+ community. You are welcome to reach out.
