Face-to-face sessions available 

Currently have availability for weekend sessions. 

Hello, I'm Joe.

I know that life can often feel overwhelming and it can be hard to find the help and support you need. I look to provide a warm, calm and welcoming space where you can explore whatever has brought you to therapy, at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach is grounded in the belief that each person has the capacity for growth and change . I work relationally, placing importance on empathy, honesty and genuine presence. Rather than offering advice or directing you, I aim to work alongside you so that you can make sense of your experiences in your own way and find clarity about what feels important.

Clients often come to me experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem difficulties, relationship challenges, or a sense of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. You do not need to have a clear goal before starting therapy — we can begin wherever you are.

I offer face-to-face counselling sessions for adults in and around Mid-Sussex. 

Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly, although frequency can be discussed depending on your needs. My practice provides a private and comfortable setting where you can speak openly and safely.

As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change. I aim to create an environment where you feel genuinely heard, accepted and understood.

If my approach resonates with you, then please feel free to get in touch and we can arrange an initial conversation free of charge.

This is an opportunity for us to meet one another,  to get a brief understanding of what is going on for you, and for you to get a sense of how I work, and of course to ask any questions.
