Josh Hogan

It's good to talk, even better to be heard. I like to help people find their voice by building a safe and trusting space together. I've worked with many issues, including:

trauma, generalised anxiety, intrusive thoughts, depression, addiction, compulsions, sexuality, coming out, shame, bereavement and loss, managing anger

In my career I have worked closely with university students and artists, as well as patients in an NHS setting. I’m particularly interested in helping young LGBT+ people who have been shown to experience poorer mental health than their straight counterparts. Being bullied at school because of one’s sexuality is sadly still common, and the trauma caused by this affects many.

People often come to counselling feeling stuck and unable to move on from a difficult situation in their life, whether it happened recently or many years in the past. I try to work with this feeling of 'stuckness' by offering a calm and containing environment, where you can express exactly what you are feeling without fear of being rejected.

At present I work online and I am offering an initial consultation at a reduced price of £15. This will be followed by weekly online sessions for £30 to all clients. Normally I see clients in Central London.

I have a diploma in integrative counselling, and my training took place at City Lit. I also have a Bachelors degree in Psychology.

We will go through the contract, discuss confidentiality and how I work. I may ask a series of questions about your history and what brings you to counselling. We will look at what you would like to achieve from counselling.
