About Joseph
Joseph Mbaeru is a counsellor with six years of experience. He chose therapy because he has long been curious about human emotions and resilience. He aims to help people increase self-awareness and manage difficult times with practical support.
Joseph trained in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, which gave him a grounding in humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural ideas. He uses that mix to match the approach to each person's needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Background and approach
He commonly works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. People come to him for help after trauma, for low self-esteem, or when life changes feel overwhelming. He mentions experience with a wide range of concerns including addictions, anger, sleep and eating problems, and issues around intimacy and attachment.
Joseph also lists support for career stress and compassion fatigue. In sessions he focuses on listening, empathy and collaboration. He draws on techniques from cognitive-behavioural therapy and mindfulness alongside attachment-focused work.
The aim is to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Joseph speaks English, Igbo and Yoruba and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. He keeps learning through workshops and supervision and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Online support
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-focused ideas or a blend will best suit the person's situation and pace.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make appointments more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone calls can fit short check-ins or low bandwidth needs, and messaging or live chat can suit people who prefer written check-ins or need on-the-go contact. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or travel and make it easier to keep regular contact with a therapist.
