Josh is a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience in university, public and private healthcare settings. He has worked with children and families for over 20 years as a therapist for children with learning disorders and then as a clinical psychologist since 2012. He holds a Bachelor of Science (psychology Hons 1), Master of Clinical Psychology and a PhD in Clinical Psychology (thesis).  

​

Josh is warm and empathic but also practical and solutions focused. His aim in therapy is to see his clients as empowered experts in themselves, and to provide strategies for them to learn and implement in their daily lives long after the therapy has finished. Most therapy is therefore short term - 4 to 10 sessions, but may be longer depending on need.
