Joseph Callaghan

I have fifteen years experience working as a counsellor and psychotherapist in doctors surgeries in South London. I have also worked privately with client's in central London for fifteen years. I work with individuals and couples, short and long term. I am trained as an integrative therapist and supervisor. During my time with the NHS I was the coordinator for primary care counselling in Southwark and I was the deputy chairman for the BACP private practitioners division.

My approach to my work is integrative psychodynamic and influenced by different therapeutic philosophies.

Psychotherapy offers you a place to explore difficulties you may be having in your personal life with someone who is trained neither to judge nor advise you, but to explore and help you unlock feelings which may have been hidden for years.

There are many reasons for seeking counselling, you may be feeling anxious and depressed, have problems with your feelings, thoughts and behaviour in relationships with others. You may have had a sudden life-crisis, bereavement or relationship breakdown. You may feel you lack direction and your life makes no sense. Past and present relationships will be explored so that you may begin to feel less anxious and confused. I work with the basic understanding that we are all unique and our experiences from our early developmental years play a large part in our relationships in later life.
