About Joseph Mbaeru
Joseph Mbaeru combines a long-standing curiosity about human emotion with a commitment to helping people navigate change and build resilience. He pursued education in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, which gave him a broad theoretical grounding across humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural approaches. That training underpins his work with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem and worries about the future.
He uses an integrative, collaborative style that meets clients where they are and adapts interventions to individual needs. His practice draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness, Gestalt, psychodynamic ideas, person-centred methods and trauma-informed approaches. He places emphasis on empathy, active listening and evidence-informed methods to help clients increase self-awareness and pursue lasting change.
Committed to ongoing professional development, he continues to engage in supervision, workshops and multidisciplinary teamwork to refine his practice. He aims to reduce stigma around mental health and improve access to therapy for marginalised communities. He also works with the platform teams to provide a consistent standard of care. He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and maintains high professional and ethical standards, offering compassionate support to people during difficult times.

Integrative Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters most to them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. It is often used for anxiety, depression and living with painful emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and intimacy-related issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and building practical skills to manage symptoms like stress, anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joseph works with clients to understand goals, history and preferences, then tailors techniques and pacing so the chosen methods fit each person’s needs. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their care.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. This flexibility can increase access for people in different locations and support ongoing work between sessions with a therapist.
