Joseph Mbaeru , BACP

Joseph Mbaeru brings six years of clinical experience to his work supporting adults through a broad range of emotional and life challenges. Trained in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, he weaves together humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural perspectives to shape a personalised path for each person he sees. His practice focuses on people affected by trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and related concerns, with an emphasis on helping clients increase self-awareness and develop practical coping skills.

Working in an integrative and collaborative way, Joseph draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness, Gestalt methods, psychodynamic ideas and client-centered and trauma-informed approaches. He aims to create an accepting space where clients feel heard and empowered to build resilience and pursue their goals. He combines evidence-informed interventions with empathic listening and active engagement to support lasting change.

Joseph is committed to reducing stigma around mental health and expanding access to therapy for marginalised communities. He maintains ongoing professional development through workshops and supervision and values interdisciplinary teamwork to support holistic care. He holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practices in the United Kingdom. He offers services in English, Igbo and Yoruba, works with the platform teams to provide a high standard of care, and is accepting clients, including international clients.

Integrative Approaches for Remote Therapeutic Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking meaningful action aligned with personal values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, avoidance and coping with painful emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and early relationship dynamics to improve intimacy, trust and connection - it is often useful for people working through abandonment, attachment issues and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and mood regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Joseph works collaboratively with clients to identify what best fits their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods over time so therapy remains responsive and client-led, with an emphasis on shared decision making between therapist and client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility and increased access - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect with licensed professionals and therapists from different locations when needed.
