I've been working through some VERY intense traumas (different forms)/lack of self worth/severe depression etc, with Joe for 1 year and 6 months. I genuinely cannot express how grateful I am to Joe for everything he's helped me with. Yes, some of it was REALLY hard to work through, but Joe helped give me the advice, strength and confidence to be able to face every single one of my own personal demons head-on. Joe is kind, considerate, patient, caring, empathic, totally non-judgemental, can help gently steer/direct conversation as required... I've been seeing all different therapists/counsellors/psychiatrists since I was young, and no-one has ever come near to how comfortable I felt about opening up to Joe, nor did I feel I ever had their true respect; as if I was just a number they need to work through. I have NEVER had that impression with Joe! It's been an incredible journey, and now I'm at the end I have to admit I'm left with a very bitter-sweet feeling. I will genuinely miss having Joe as part of my life. Joe, if you read this (and I'm sure you'll know who this is), you'll forever be in my daily thoughts and thanks. Yes, I put a lot of the work in as well, but there's no way I could've gone through SO MUCH as I did with you without your support. I came to you, a totally broken and shattered shell of a man, and with your help I'm finally complete again. Once more, infinite thanks, and namaste. A true angel amongst mortals.

5/5 without a question. Joe adjusted very well to my situation, and customised his entire approach specific to me. I felt he had a clear and structured approach, yet was very open and dynamic to account for everything that would come up during our sessions. The results I have achieved, FAR exceed what I expected and go far beyond what I had set out to achieve when I started working with Joe. I feel better, healthier, more confident and many more positive things than before. Overall, I’m extremely happy that I decided worked with Joe and can only recommend doing the same, in case you are already thinking about it.

My sessions with Joe were very enlightening. He gave me the tools to be able to identify my automatic thoughts and address my anxiety. I was very nervous to start therapy but Joe immediately put me...

My sessions with Joe were very enlightening. He gave me the tools to be able to identify my automatic thoughts and address my anxiety. I was very nervous to start therapy but Joe immediately put me at ease, and it was very easy to talk to him. I feel a lot more in control of my anxiety now, as I am able to recognise what is happening, reflect, and take the necessary steps to address it. I feel much better and have gained confidence, control and self-awareness! Thank you, Joe!
