About Joseph Mbaeru
Joseph Mbaeru brings a long-standing interest in human emotion, behaviour, and resilience to his work as a therapist. He developed a commitment to mental health and wellbeing early in life and has since built a practice that helps adults increase self-awareness, navigate difficulties, and make lasting changes.
Trained in integrative counselling and psychotherapy, Joseph draws on humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural foundations to shape treatment. He has worked with people affected by trauma, anxiety and depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and fears about the future, among other presenting issues encountered during clinical placements and private practice. His experience has reinforced a conviction that evidence-based methods combined with empathic listening and client collaboration can support meaningful progress.
Joseph meets clients where they are with a flexible, tailored approach. He integrates cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness practices, Gestalt ideas, psychodynamic reflection, person-centred principles, and trauma-informed work to match interventions to each person’s needs. His aim is to help clients rediscover inner resources, strengthen resilience, and work toward their personal goals.
Professional development and service access are important to Joseph. He is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and he remains engaged in ongoing learning through supervision, workshops, and interdisciplinary collaboration. He is committed to reducing stigma around mental health and improving access to therapy for marginalised communities, offering compassionate support to people during vulnerable moments and throughout the changes in their lives.

People can choose the way of connecting that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or messaging - which often makes it easier to fit support into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.
Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and many clients find that a good therapeutic match matters more than the setting. If the fit is not right, it is possible to seek a different therapist. Online options expand access and make it practical for more people to pursue consistent, evidence-informed therapy in a way that aligns with their everyday lives.
