Trauma Focused Counselling in North Shields
Struggling with persistent worries, overwhelming thoughts, or past experiences that keep resurfacing can make life feel unpredictable and exhausting. Many people feel trapped by patterns that seem impossible to break, leaving them unsure how to move forward or regain a sense of calm.
With a background as a Registered Nurse and over 15 years’ experience across NHS services and private practice, I understand how deeply these difficulties affect both mind and body. I am a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist, EMDR practitioner, and the course lead for a postgraduate CBT training programme.

I am a Psychological Therapist working within specialist psychology and health psychology services in the NHS, and I run a private clinic in Tynemouth. I deliver NICE guidance psychological therapies to adults who are finding it difficult to move on from past events - whether this is single incident, such as an accident, injury or medical events, or more complex and longstanding experiences, including childhood abuse or neglect, bullying or domestic abuse. Many people I support feel stuck, overwhelmed or held back by memories or reactions that continue to affect their day to day life despite their best efforts to cope.

Hi, I am Joshua, a professional counsellor and a registered member of the BACP.
I understand how daunting it can feel to look for a counsellor and to work out whether someone will feel like the right fit. My aim is to offer a calm, transparent, and supportive starting point, so you have a clear sense of how I work and what you can expect.
