About Joe
Joe Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and grief. He also supports those facing issues linked to sexuality and gender, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns.
He uses psychodynamic therapy to help people look at patterns that repeat in their lives. He also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past hurts are affecting present day coping.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what a person brings and on noticing how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Joe aims to create an open space where clients can speak honestly about shame, loneliness or difficulties with relationships. He highlights the overlaps between problems such as addiction, body image and family strain, and helps people untangle them one step at a time.
He explains things in plain language and encourages clients to follow their own sense of what feels meaningful. Joe holds BACP as his listed credential. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
He has three years of professional experience working with the areas noted above. Sessions are delivered in English and he does not take international clients. Before booking, people should confirm the session formats offered at the time of scheduling.
To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Joe works online
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on the effects of difficult or distressing events. It aims to reduce their hold on daily life by working carefully through memories and responses, which can help with addictions, grief and persistent shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods are most useful based on goals, history and preferences. That discussion can happen in early sessions and may evolve over time as needs change.
The original listing does not specify which online session types are offered. Please confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote work helps them keep a consistent routine while they work on change.
