You might look like you have it all together, but inside you often feel unsure, replay conversations, or worry about letting people down. I work with young professionals who want to feel more confident, assertive, and steady in uncertain or challenging situations. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s behind the self-doubt and overthinking, build trust in your emotions and decisions, and help you feel more grounded, self-assured, and authentic in how you show up — both at work and in relationships.

I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different approaches to suit each person’s needs, whether exploring the past, focusing on the present, or finding strategies for the future. I work with issues such as anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationships, always at a pace that feels right for you. My background in psychology and education helps me take a holistic view, supporting clients under pressure from study, work or family. Above all, I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can build confidence and move forward.

I was going to say a few things about me, but that's not why you're here. You're here because you recognise it's time to talk about you. I can help with that. I have worked extensively with clients who experience professional "burn out", relationship issues, bereavement and loss. The list goes on. Having juggled work, family, personal loss, training and much more in recent years, I understand overwhelm. This experience means that I will listen without judgement, empathise and help you find ways to cope, moving on from the unhealthy habits and emotions you're stuck in. We'll work together towards your goals.

I’m Pritesh Joshi — a CBT and EMDR therapist helping high-performing people break free from emotional overload, trauma, and silent burnout. I work with professionals who seem “fine” on the outside… but feel quietly overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally flat on the inside. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and asks, “And how does that make you feel?” Clients often tell me, “You actually get it.” That’s because I believe therapy shouldn’t feel clinical or cold — it should feel like a grounded conversation that actually helps you move forward.

I am counselling psychologist and integrative psychotherapist that has worked with couples and individuals for over 20 years. Being an integrative psychotherapist means, I believe that different approaches are needed to deal with the individual needs of my client - one size does not fit all. With that in mind, I have trained within various approaches, so I can offer a more holistic and in-depth approach in how I work. Working with my clients, I see us finding ways of overcoming or addressing the issues that are presented, in a way that feels authentic to how they are as people.

Therapy is an investment in yourself and your relationships. It can reveal aspects of yourself that you have taken for granted, such as people-pleasing, self-criticism, overworking, over-rationalizing, or dismissing your own needs and emotions. These patterns emerge because they once served us at different points in life, but what may have been helpful in the past doesn’t always serve us in adulthood. Many clients are motivated to explore these unexamined aspects of themselves—what I often refer to as their "autopilot"—and to gain greater awareness of how these tendencies shape their relationships and sense of self.

Rational Emotive Behaviour (REBT) Counsellors

What should I expect from rational emotive behaviour therapy?

The therapist will work with the individual to recognise rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behaviour. This therapy often emphasises the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behaviour therapy effective?

Rational emotive behaviour therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophising thoughts thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behaviour therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behaviour therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behaviour therapy last?

REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
