About Joe
Joe Roberts is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to help people facing depression, anxiety and addiction. He works from a belief that talking and reflecting together can reveal patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions aim to be straightforward and human, with room for whatever you bring to the conversation.
He has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which indicates membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
Joe offers one-to-one work that looks at current difficulties alongside feelings and past experiences that feed into them. People come for help with stress, grief, sexual and gender questions, relationship worries and issues around substance use and eating. He also supports concerns tied to attachment, isolation, guilt, codependency and body image.
The approach acknowledges how these difficulties often overlap in daily life. In sessions Joe listens for recurring themes and emotional responses that point to deeper patterns. He uses trauma-focused ways of working when past events continue to affect someone's mood or sense of safety.
The aim is to make distress easier to understand and manage rather than to promise quick fixes. Practical arrangements include online formats such as video calls, phone contact, live chat and text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a time that suits them.

Approaches Joe lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
He also offers trauma-focused ways of working to address the effects of upsetting or overwhelming events. That approach helps people make sense of memories and reduce their ongoing impact on mood and day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapts the work as sessions progress. Clients are invited to shape the pace and focus of therapy so it fits their needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face style conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or travel schedules.
