Joseph Mbaeru trained in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and brings six years of practice to his work. He speaks English, Igbo and Yoruba and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. He aims to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties by listening, reflecting and offering practical ways forward.

Joseph uses an integrative approach that borrows from several therapy styles. He draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts.

Background and approach

He uses acceptance-based ideas to support people when painful feelings won’t shift right away. In sessions he focuses on building a calm, respectful space. He pays attention to how attachment patterns and past losses affect present relationships.

He works collaboratively, helping people set goals and try small, manageable changes between sessions. Joseph has experience supporting people after trauma and those coping with grief, addictions, eating and sleeping concerns, chronic illness and major life changes. He also helps with anger, self-esteem, career questions and issues around intimacy and commitment.

Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and use a subscription you can cancel at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Joseph often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his online work. CBT helps people notice thought patterns and try different behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and learning to live alongside difficult feelings while taking meaningful action.

He treats these approaches as options to be explored together. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision-making is part of the therapeutic process rather than a fixed prescription.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers writing to speaking.
