Joseph Shepherd

I offer sessions online and via telephone, allowing you to access support from wherever you feel most comfortable. If you’re interested and think we’d be a good fit, feel free to reach out via email, phone, or social media.

I have sessions available every Thursday between 7am–8 PM, with weekend sessions available upon request.  

I aim to respond to any inquiries within 24 hours, or the next working day.

Hi I'm Joe, a Â鶹ԭ´´-registered counsellor with over five years of experience working in the NHS mental health sector, alongside providing private therapy to clients. My experience in both settings has given me a deep understanding of mental health, its impact on individuals in unique ways, and a broad range of tools that I tailor to support my private clients effectively.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re unsure what to expect. My approach is simple: To provide a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly, free from judgement.

I practice Person-Centred Therapy, meaning I believe in empowering you as the expert of your own life. My role is to support you in exploring your thoughts and feelings at your own pace in a safe and accepting environment.

Your first session would consist of a free 30-minute telephone consultation, where we can discuss what you’re looking for in therapy and how I can best support you. This conversation can allow us to set expectations, outline potential goals and book in our first full session if it feels right.

Standard sessions are 50 minutes and are guided by you. If support is needed, I can gently guide the conversation while ensuring you feel comfortable.
