Therapy in Clapham, Tonbridge & online

I offer in-person therapy in Clapham and Tonbridge, as well as online and outdoor therapy.

People come to therapy for many reasons — feeling anxious or low, dealing with loss, struggling in relationships, feeling stuck in familiar patterns, or wanting a deeper understanding of themselves. Whatever brings you here, therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and begin to make sense of things.

​

How I can help

I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, stress, anger, confidence and self-esteem difficulties, eating disorders, and trauma/PTSD.

I also have extensive experience supporting people with relationship difficulties, patterns of codependency*, and addictions, including in the context of 12-step recovery.

*Codependency refers to becoming overly focused on others’ needs at the expense of your own wellbeing, often linking self-worth to others’ approval.

Meet Joel

I’ve spent 25 years working in education and training, supporting people to grow, learn and thrive. That same commitment underpins my therapy work.

​

My style is relaxed, warm and collaborative. I aim to offer a space where you can speak openly, feel heard, and explore things at your own pace.

​

I believe empathy, honesty and respect are at the heart of effective therapy. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach — we’ll work together to find what feels most helpful for you.

 

My approach

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of approaches to suit your individual needs and preferences. This might include:

• mindfulness and grounding practices

• exploring early relationships and formative experiences (psychodynamic)

• looking at present-day thought and behaviour patterns (cognitive-behavioural)

• creative methods such as imagery, visualisation, or drawing

 

What to expect

In our first session, we’ll talk through what’s brought you to therapy, what you hope for, and what feels most important right now.

​

Over time, therapy can help you recognise unhelpful patterns, develop greater self-awareness, and feel more at ease in yourself and in your relationships. Many people find they build emotional resilience, learn new ways of coping with life’s challenges, and experience a deeper sense of connection and wellbeing.

 

A safe space

Whatever you’re facing, I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can bring the parts of yourself that may not feel easy to share elsewhere.
