Joe Sibley, BACP

Joe Sibley chose counselling to offer a straightforward, practical service that meets people where they are, regardless of background or life circumstances. He brings an unpretentious presence to his work - having spent much of his working life on building sites and spending free time involved in strength athletics and rock n roll - and he views those experiences as part of what shapes him as a practitioner. He believes it is helpful for clients to know something of the person they might share their story with, and he aims to build trust through openness and relatability.

Professionally trained as a Humanistic Integrative counsellor, Joe has learned a range of therapeutic methods and draws on the approach that best fits each individual. That training means he does not rely on a one-size-fits-all model; instead he adapts his way of working to match the needs and preferences of the person in front of him. His style is practical and client-focused, oriented toward helping people navigate difficult periods or take intentional steps for professional and personal growth.

Joe emphasizes the value of taking time to attend to mental health, whether the goal is to work through specific challenges or to plan and develop in other areas of life. He aims to provide down-to-earth support that helps people manage current struggles and move toward the life changes they want to make.
