About Joe
Joe Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on practical, person-centred work. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. Joe also supports people dealing with issues around sexuality and gender, including LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria.
He draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to understand how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. Sessions look at patterns in relationships, attachment, shame, and identity in plain language.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to make sense of what keeps someone stuck and uncover small changes that reduce distress. Joe has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation. He offers a calm, steady presence and encourages people to talk openly about whatever feels most pressing.
His style is direct but warm, and he works at a pace that suits each person. Typical topics include addiction and recovery, difficulties with body image or eating, codependency and communication problems, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. He also addresses HIV and AIDS related concerns, infidelity, and commitment worries.
Sessions can be delivered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People who want to start choose the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.
Approach-driven online therapy tailored to your needs
Joe uses psychodynamic work to help people understand recurring feelings and relationship patterns. This approach looks at how earlier experiences shape present reactions and helps bring those patterns into clearer view so they can be changed.He also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the impact of distressing events. This method focuses on the ways traumatic experiences are held in the body and mind and aims to reduce their ongoing influence on mood, anxiety and behaviour.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. Conversations in early sessions help set priorities and shape a plan that feels manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video works well for longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life, while still allowing focused therapeutic work.
