Furthermore, Josh's delightful infusion of humor adds an extra layer of comfort and warmth to the therapeutic experience, making every session a truly enriching and uplifting encounter.

Joshua has been such a massive support to me in 2023. I had some of the highest highs and lowest lows and Joshua was always around to keep my head held up. I will be going into 2024 with even more focus on my health and well being and am grateful to have Joshua as my therapist moving into the year.

Joshua is absolutely amazing. Empathetic, professional, kind, constructive, and truly interested in supporting people in the way that works best for them.

Josh is great - he has really helped me through a difficult and chaotic time with care and expertise.

Glad to rely on his counsel and insight, very informative and helpful.

Joshua is incredibly knowledgeable of resources and ways to make his patients feel welcome, understood, comfortable. He is kind and compassionate. He truly put in the time and effort to create a space of understanding. He is absolutely exemplary in the cares that he provides. I know I can always rely on Joshua for help when I need it most.

Joshua continues to be a great help and support and definitely my voice of reason. A sounding board and good listener but ready with help and techniques to try, for when I’m stuck with unhelpful thoughts and attitudes

joshua is an incredible therapist and an amazing person, he’s got this therapy style that really suits me and i really feel as though i’m confiding in a friend. he’s never judgemental and he always makes you feel human and talks about his own experiences to help you feel less alone.

Josh is rad! For I think the first time in my life, I have a therapist I actually feel comfortable around - who I can be myself around!

I initially didn’t even want a male therapist. But when I read Joshua’s bio.. something clicked.. I know now that I made the right choice. I have never felt more safe, heard, and understood. Joshua helped me move through one of the most difficult times in my life and I will forever be thankful for the time, patients, and unbiased direction that I received in such a short time. . I am confident in my decisions now, trust myself again and feel healthier moving forward.
Truly exactly the support that I needed.

Josh is an incredible person and an amazing Therapist! He is very open minded and extremely beneficial to have around! He is an amazing listener, very relatable and always keeps it real. He never makes me feel judged, no matter what the situation and he always renounces that it is okay to make mistakes, and gives great reassurance when I need it! He also gives helpful strategies and mechanisms to help/ to cope with negative situations. I would highly recommend him as a therapist because he is genuinely so down to earth, and to add he always makes me laugh:) He has a great personality and his therapy sessions always feel so relaxed and never feel like a chore:)

Josh is so easy to talk to. He relates well to me, sharing personal details to help relate to my problems. He makes me feel welcome and it's so clear that he wants to help me be a better person.

Amazing guy, very knowledgeable in so many areas and he's so real with me

Joshua is an excellent therapist. He is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and helps you feel relaxed. As a queer person, it was essential that I had a queer therapist who understood my challenges - Joshua was the person for that!

I have literally only had 1 therapy session that was't with Joshua so my frame of reference is limited but I think he's great.

He's open and honest, listens and cares but unlike some will call you out on your shit when you need it which I found useful.

By sharing a tonne of his own experiences and professional knowledge, I understand how I tick at a fundamental level much more clearly and feel not only like i now have a much better relationship with myself (seriously, I'm fucken awesome ;) ) but also feel way more in control of myself and my life.

Great guy, 10/10 do reccommend.

If I had any tips to you as prospective client of Joshua's: putting the work in to plan out what you want from a session will really pay off. There were one or two sessions in the probably 40 or so I've done with him that felt a bit like they were going in circles or retreading old ground, but I don't put that all on him and sometimes that needs to happen as part of the process.

Joshua is the best therapist I have ever met with. After one year I have grown and developed with his guidance more than I have at any other point in my life. I am forever grateful.

Joshua is a kind, patient and insightful therapist. He uses a variety of techniques and tools to make sessions relatable, productive and helpful. I like the flexibility around sessions that meet you where you’re at; whether it’s just a vent day, exploration or putting practices in place. I feel seen and heard and comfortable to chat judgement free. I chose Joshua as I was drawn to his LGBTQIA+ experience and expertise but I have found more than I could have bargained for in a therapist. Would recommend him to anyone.

He is very nice to talk to. Sessions are very relaxed and it feels like talking to a friend. He is very open and supportive.

Joshua is an incredibly skilled, creative and sensitive therapist & human being. Even after just a few sessions, I feel so understood & supported by them and love their explorative and trauma-aware approach to therapy. Could not possibly have higher praise!

When you get down to the root of things and open your eyes to problems that you didn't know have been affecting you for who knows how long it just feels like you get to stay at a place you've been vacationing for much longer.

I am very thankful to my previous therapist, before Joshua, because I needed that experience to point me into this direction of getting down the the roots. They are able to discuss concepts in a paced manner. They offer an environment that is at ease. I really can't thank them enough for having these therapy sessions with me.

Joshua is a wonderful therapist; very easily available, always takes the time to answer messages. He's very warm, completely non-judgemental, and always offers insightful documentation on the matters we discuss. He's very well-versed on mood disorders, trauma and on LGBTQIA+ issues (that's the one we've been mentioning so far but I'm sure there's a lot more). They have been helping me a lot, his feedbacks are encouraging and make me feel safe and more confident. I'm glad I'm working with them.

I had never used teen counseling before and I was so pleasantly surprised when they matched me with Joshua! He’s so kind and incredibly helpful when it comes to the issues I discuss with him. As a trans person it’s really nice to see that there are people out there who are happy to help in your journey. Highly highly recommend him!

Joshua is a very competent therapist that helped me with my polygamous relationship. He really lift me up when I needed it the most. His behavioral therapy techniques are amazing. He knows what's up and you're going to feel comfortable sharing everything with him from the beginning.
I am glad that I had the chance to talk to him and learn from him.
I totally recommend him to everyone who needs some mental health help.

Josh is amazing! He has completely turned my life around and I’ve never felt more supported.

Until now I’d always had trouble finding a therapist that I was comfortable talking to. Joshua made our sessions feel like talking to someone I know, and I felt better sharing things with him that always made me uncomfortable or emotional with other therapists. Down to earth, funny, and very kind! I’ve definitely made progress since I began, and the things I needed guidance for now feel a lot more attainable and realistic. Would most definitely recommend to people seeking a counsellor who isn’t too cold and clinical, who makes approaching difficult topics much less intimidating, which is tricky to find sometimes.

He is great

He is like chatting to a friend , he is so supportive and really listens to me. He gives me great at advice constantly and is really helping me deal with things in a healthier way :)

I can't stress enough how much my quality of life has improved since I started working with Joshua. I don't know how I would have gotten through the last few months without him, but I am very thankful to have him in my life cheering me on and encouraging me to do great things! I would absolutely recommend Joshua to anybody who is in need of a warm, accepting and caring therapist.

Josh is amazing. I cannot emphasise enough how much he has changed my life. So lucky to work with him and have him guide me on my journey

Speaking to Joshua felt like speaking to a friend with expertise in trauma counseling. He was always available when I needed to talk to him and understood my needs accurately from the beginning. What I liked most is that he connected with me like a peer rather than just a counselor, which helped me learn so much about trauma counseling and empowered me to manage my trauma better. Thank you Joshua!

I have been working with Joshua for a few months now and he has been incredibly helpful. His insights and therapeutic techniques are excellent. He is warm, caring, and understanding; and he is super knowledgeable in his area. I am grateful to have come across this therapist. Thank you Josh!

Joshua has given me so much space to be myself and work things out without feeling guilty. Unapologetically me while helping me figure things out, Joshua has given me the confidence and clarity to be on a better path.

I’ve been working with Joshua for a few weeks and have had all positive experiences. He makes it easy to talk about difficult subjects and gives me resources via worksheets to work on during the week. I find they keep accountable. Even in a few weeks I feel measurable changes in my mood, and awareness/mindfulness of my emotions. I would recommend him to a friend any day.

Josh has helped us through a very difficult time. I can't thank him enough for helping my daughter and me! He has given her the tools necessary to pull herself through her experiences and I've watched her become more confident. I highly recommend Josh!

I HIGHLY recommend Joshua, he is a great listener and has some really good, real world advice. I feel he really understands where I am coming from and he is the best therapist I've ever had.

Joshua is a great counsellor! He really listens to my situation and is easy to talk to about my problems. He has a very progressive way of thinking and has helped me develop confidence and strategies to feel like my mental health issues aren’t taking over my life. Would definitely recommend Joshua’s services.

Joshua has helped me so much in such a short space of time. He is so respectful and positive, that even talking about the hardest things is okay and really helpful. He is extremely knowledgeable about all different techniques to help you and has a natural empathy and understanding of what is needed to help you move forward. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Super friendly and very easy to talk and open up too! You can tell he knows what he's talking about and even on days when im not very good at communicating hes able to keep the ball rolling

I’ve had 3 sessions with Joshua so far, and I’ve seen various counsellors, a psychologist, and psychiatrist in the past, but I’ve never been more open and honest about myself to anyone. Joshua is great at normalizing and validating my feelings and fears. I highly recommend him to anyone out there who is struggling.

Joshua is AWESOME!!! We have a lot in common. He is very respectful and supportive!

Good service and help.

I can’t recommend Joshua enough.

I feel completely understood and at ease with Joshua. He actually listens and gives some of the best practice advice I’ve had.

He is always prepared for our sessions and goes out of his way to make sure he’s covering all of my concerns.
