Josh Brushett

Hi, my name is Josh Brushett. First off, let me welcome you to Another Door Counselling - a private counselling service delivering online and telephone based therapy. 

A bit about me... I鈥檓 an integrative counsellor with a trauma-informed approach, which basically means I don鈥檛 believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I draw from a variety of therapeutic styles and tailor my work to suit you鈥攜our needs, your pace, and your unique story.

Whether you鈥檙e feeling stuck, overwhelmed, grieving, anxious, navigating relationships, work stresses, or exploring your identity, I offer a calm, non-judgemental and safe space where you can unpack whatever鈥檚 on your mind. I鈥檓 especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent individuals, and anyone who鈥檚 ever felt like they didn鈥檛 quite fit into the 鈥渘orm.鈥� 

That said, everyone鈥檚 welcome here鈥攄iversity and inclusivity aren鈥檛 just buzzwords for me, they鈥檙e core to how I practice.

I work with adults and young people aged 16 and over, and I understand that reaching out for support can be daunting. If you鈥檙e unsure whether therapy is right for you, I鈥檓 always happy to have a chat so you can get a feel for how I work. You don鈥檛 have to have it all figured out to start. You've already made an important first step, let's walk the next ones together. 

I put the focus on building and nurturing the relationship between myself and the client first and foremost, after all how can safe therapy happen without first establishing trust? By approaching from this angle, it allows me to assess what might be the best approach for our work together. 

The sessions will be led by you, I will pick up and adapt to the rhythm and structure of the sessions as they go on. We will periodically review our work to assess how you feel the therapy is going, and whether your needs/goals from counselling have changed course from where we began. 

All sessions will be conducted via Microsoft Teams. Email invites will be sent out prior to the first session with a recurring link to be used each week. 

I offer a free 15-minute initial conversation, so we can get a sense of whether we're a good fit. My availability, and yours, can be discussed during this call, prior to booking the first session. 

Before the first session, I will send over an assessment form and a therapy contract, both to complete and return, I will also use a simple Core-10 form, this is a standard screening form that will give me a general sense of your immediate well-being prior to therapy beginning.
