About

A calm, human place to be met.

Hello, I'm Josh — a psychotherapist and yoga teacher based in Colchester. For over fifteen years I've sat alongside people through anxiety, low mood, grief, burnout and the quiet unravelling that change can bring.

My work blends talking therapy with gentle, body-aware practices drawn from yoga and somatic experiencing. We don't only think our way through things — we notice how they live in the breath and the body, and let the nervous system learn that it's safe to soften.

There's no rush and no script. Just a steady, confidential space, and two people working out what healing looks like for you.

Getting started

Beginning is the gentlest part

Reaching out can feel like the biggest step. Here's exactly what happens next — no pressure, no commitment.

A free introductory call

We talk for 20 minutes, at no cost, so you can share what's bringing you here and get a feel for working together.

Your first session

We slow down and explore what matters most, with no expectation to have it all figured out. You set the pace.

Ongoing, at your rhythm

Most people meet weekly at first. There's no fixed number of sessions — we review together, openly, as we go.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need to do yoga to come?

Not at all. The "yoga-informed" part simply means we may bring gentle breath or grounding work into the room when it's helpful. You can also choose purely talking therapy — it's always led by you.

How long will I need therapy?

There's no set answer. Some people come for a focused handful of sessions, others for longer, deeper work. We review together regularly and you're free to pause or stop whenever feels right.

Where are you based?

My practice room is in central Colchester, a short walk from the Castle and Dutch Quarter, with online sessions available across the UK.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. What you share stays between us, within the ethical framework of the BACP. We'll talk through the few rare exceptions in your first session.
