More about Joseph
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
My name is Jo.I am a BACP-registered integrative counsellor. I have had over 6yrs experience working within the NHS as service desk analyst in a non-clinical role before graduating from Birmingham Newman University with a Bachelor’s Degree (B.A) in counselling studies and currently completing a Master’s Degree (MSc) in integrative counselling.
My training cuts across several counselling modalities. My integrative formulation includes using the PCT as a core approach in providing the foundation for therapeutic alliance with my clients. Along this, depending on the clients presenting issues, I draw on CBT, Gestalt, mindfulness and psychodynamic modalities in my clinical formulation. I listen intently and respectfully, to understand and support clients from all walks of life in a multicultural setting to provide a non - judgemental, friendly, and comfortable environment in which we may work through challenges.
I work with clients who may be struggling with grief, relationship issues, trauma, poor self-esteem, mild, moderate and severe depression, anxiety, or dread of the future. I know how valuable it is to be able to talk to someone neutrally and listen without passing judgement. I would describe myself as congruent, honest, and helpful. I believe in providing not just care, but genuine compassion and support to clients during their most vulnerable moments. I am aware that getting help does not indicate that you have a psychological disorder. Also, the process of transformation within you continues after each session and working with a trained professional in a confidential setting can help gain valuable insight into your situation and bring about much-needed change. You don’t have to suffer in silence.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

He is very patience in listening and walking through my past
Joseph is very knowleable, conscious and conscientious of the client's perspective. A total pro, who understands human nature plus clearly demonstrates a strong grasp of his profession, principles and best practice. He asks great questions, great active listening and genuinely cares to see people improve their situation and overcome challenges. I would highly recomend him. Very professional and wise, progress can be made with the help of a great therapist like him.
Joseph has been a great support, very attentive and asks very perceptive questions.
My work with Jo has changed my life and outlook forever. He’s an exceptional active listener and always offers his expertise in a way that is clear and precise. I feel that he understands me and my needs very well and I trust him implicitly. I could not thank him enough for all the help he has given me over the last year. I feel like a brand new person with his help and guidance and would recommend him to anyone.
Joe is great. He’s very patient and offers great perspectives I never would have thought of. Has really helped with my anxiety
Joseph is a very good therapist and has helped me a lot.. very professional too but also very understanding and gives great ideas
Joseph worked with me through 8 of the hardest months of my life. It's no overexaggeration to say he save my life it in a way. I am eternally grateful to Joseph. He's a fantastic listener, offers great advice and helps you find your way. He's a good friend and a beautiful soul.
Jo is a very down to earth and approachable person making it really easy to open up to him. His mix of empathy and uncomfortable truths is exactly what I needed to help me on my self improvement journey. He has truly helped me develop into a more well rounded individual.
We are working on my relational complications and I feel Joseph offers safe and empathetic space for me to explore and understand my internal resistance. I have noticed huge shift in the connection of 'self' (acceptance, permission, acknowledgement) as well as my boundaries.
Still getting to know eachother but so far Jo has been very supportive and encouraging.
