Joseph Poullis

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist registered with the UK’s health regulator and a chartered member of the British Psychological Society. I am highly active in emotional intelligence research and practice an integrative approach to treatment, including Acceptance Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Analytic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies to facilitate a positive psychological change.

We will work together to connect with your values, purpose, actions, and new experiences. Experience enriches the brain, and for that reason, it makes new learning into knowledge and wisdom.

I am committed to improving the lives of my clients and encouraging them to lead authentic lives while striving to reach their full potential.

Areas of Interest

As human beings, we have a fantastic capacity to get ourselves lost in thoughts and feelings and disconnect from our values and goals. I do not have a one-size-fits-all answer to the difficulties you may be facing. I view therapy as a collaborative process, encouraging my clients to ask how they can learn to know themselves by breaking old habits that keep them dissatisfied and stuck.

I respect human individuality and each person’s unique identity, purpose, and ability to make decisions, take responsibility, and become free to be the person they decide to be. I encourage my clients to answer life and find their own unique meaning in it.

My focus areas include working with individuals experiencing trauma, phobias, adjustment disorders, major life transitions, career or employment difficulties, anxiety and mood disorders, self-esteem, sexual identity issues, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions, and grief.
