My clients tend to meet me during a transformative period in their lives when they may feel anxiety or tiredness/burnout related to their work or significant relationships (not necessarily with their primary life partners). I provide a compassionate and empowering therapeutic space where people can connect with themselves safely, make sense of their emotions, address possible dissatisfaction in their present, and learn to experience a more fulfilling life.

Therapy that leads somewhere. It’s our relationships that make the difference. People who work with me build a relationship that supports lasting and meaningful change in their life. You might be coming to therapy feeling frustrated that you’ve not been able to fix things on your own. Maybe you have talked, reflected, read, and processed, yet the same patterns keep showing up. Working with me allows you to gain perspectives you cannot get on your own, and the support to shift unwanted patterns and dynamics. Warmth matters, but so does direction.

I provide a warm, creative, and permissive space where you can explore personal issues and emotions at your own pace. I believe the body holds our experiences, and that healing comes through developing mindfulness, presence, and embodiment. In a relational way, we can look at how family history, personality, trauma, and wider social forces shape your current experience. This process can increase awareness, acceptance, and the capacity for change, whether we work together in the short or long term.

I offer in-person, online therapy and teletherapy for couples/individuals on weekdays/evenings.
Seeking therapy is a sign of courage in the depths of conflict. Currently, you may be troubled or overwhelmed, not knowing what is happening either within you, your partner or communicatively between your couple. To be understood and appreciated while conveying the same qualities to another person is an essential component of any satisfying relationship, but it is one that takes an emotional commitment from those involved in finding a resolution. The question I often ask my clients is, "Can you bear the difference of the other, or even tolerate the possibility that they may have a different perspective to the one in your mind?"

I see clients for weekly therapy in-person in my purpose-built therapy room in a discreet location on Curtain Road in Shoreditch EC2A.
I often work with younger adults in the 25-35 age range, and help you navigate the challenges of this life stage. You might be worried about how a relationship is going, or struggling to find or maintain relationships. You might feel your old coping methods are no longer working and feel anxious or overwhelmed. Therapy can also help with issues around self-esteem and identity. I have worked with people who want to resolve longstanding issues or heal from traumatic past experiences, as well as those who want a space to understand the impact of life transitions and changes. Therapy is a highly individual process, tailored to you.

This can be accessed either in person or online.
Therapy can be described in various ways – an exploration of the past to help shed light on and understand the present, a way to free oneself from the bonds of past experiences or to process who and how we are in the context of our relationships with others and ourselves. Although all of the above and more can be true, I believe therapy will always be a personal experience and will depend on your individual circumstances. My role is to walk alongside you as you navigate your difficulties, helping you develop coping strategies, support networks and discover your inner strengths.

I offer both in-person and online sessions.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply lost. Perhaps you’re holding onto something from the past that feels impossible to let go, or you find yourself stuck in a career or a relationship role that no longer fits who you are. These repeating thoughts and behaviors can leave you feeling trapped—unable to move forward or find the peace and joy. I draw on my background in the NHS and Mind, alongside a lived understanding of the high-pressure worlds of Tech, Banking, and Advertising. If you are feeling overwhelmed or 'stuck,' I provide a confidential space where these specific challenges are deeply understood.

My main approach is to encourage you to explore your feelings and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. As I work in a way that empowers the client, I always work with what you present. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, jealousy, sadness, shame and pain can become very overwhelming.The opportunity to express them can make it much easier to understand yourself and others. As I acknowledge your feelings and respect you as a person in your own right, you gain self-respect and a sense of being valued. This leads to building trust between counsellor and client, which is an essential part of the process.

I currently have both online and face-to-face availability.
Anxiety around intimacy, relationships, or sexual concerns is incredibly common, and the overarching impact that these issues can have on your health and happiness is often underestimated and undervalued. Forming meaningful and honest connections with people including yourself, and feeling empowered to truly accept and project how you feel, good and bad, is challenging with sex and relationships being no exception. Shedding light on the unconscious and bringing new perspectives to your world can be the seed from which healing and personal development grow.

Many people who come to me learned to cope by pleasing, pushing, or performing, and now feel disconnected from their instincts, bodies, or relationships. This usually shows up as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ongoing stress, body symptoms, or repeating patterns in relationships or work. In working together we'll explore whatever feels most relevant for you whether that’s something happening now, a pattern you’re noticing, or a sense that’s hard to put into words. As awareness grows, change starts to organically happen.

My name is Joseph. As a psychodynamic therapist, I help people navigate the painful, messy, and often hidden parts of being human, whether that shows itself as anxiety, depression, trauma, a persistent sense of feeling stuck, difficulties in relationships or simply not feeling content with who you are. My practice is grounded in clinical psychology and neuroscience from King’s College London, combined with the depth of psychoanalysis. Together, we can focus on the immediate crises throwing your life off balance, or go deeper to untangle the root causes of psychological conflict.

I work both in person and online, via Zoom.
I have always been fascinated by the complexity of human beings, their darkness and their lights. I consider the therapeutic room not only as a space for self-reflection and exploration of what feels difficult to process on your own, but also a place to speak the unspeakable. Therapy can provide an opportunity to challenge behaviours that may appear unchangeable or automatic. As a practitioner I am interested in the integration of cultural and gender studies and have experience working with depression, isolation, sexual identity, existential difficulties, relational dilemmas and bereavement.

I shape the work around you. We slow things down and make sense of what’s been happening in your life. Together, we explore how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect, how patterns formed, and how you have coped, even when those ways of coping no longer serve you. Together, we can begin to notice what still fits and what no longer does.

I offer a free 20-minute initial phone conversation and provide both face-to-face and online therapy from my rooms on Brick Lane (E1) and Mare Street (E8).
Many of my clients are young professionals experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, depression or relationship difficulties. Often, these struggles are connected to deeper patterns around attachment, identity, self-esteem, trauma, grief, loneliness or feelings of imposter syndrome. You may appear to be coping outwardly while internally feeling stuck, disconnected or emotionally exhausted. I offer a warm, reflective and non-judgemental space where we can explore your relationship with yourself and others, helping you develop greater self-understanding, emotional resilience and a stronger sense of connection and balance.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
