Shane Joshua

You might be good at getting things done. Work gets done, responsibilities are taken care of, and, from the outside, you may seem fine. But underneath you might be anxious, angry, disconnected, struggling in your relationship or simply tired of carrying everything yourself. You might not even know exactly how you feel. Perhaps you've become good at pushing things down, keeping busy or dealing with things on your own. I'm Shane, a Gestalt psychotherapist and counsellor working with men in Croydon, Peckham and online. You don't need to arrive knowing how to talk about your feelings

I offer men a safe, supportive space to explore the complex issues they face, free from the pressure to "be brave." Society often tells men to suppress emotion, but here, you're encouraged to bring your whole self—your doubts, your struggles, and your deeper feelings. We'll work through challenges like masculinity, identity, relationship difficulties, and historic trauma, allowing for genuine vulnerability. This is an environment built on empathy and non-judgment, where you can finally put down the armour and navigate your emotions honestly.

We can start with a brief introductory phone call. The first session is then dedicated to ensuring we are a good fit. We'll work at your pace, discussing your goals in a comfortable, judgment-free space. Feeling at ease opening up is essential, and we'll ensure that process feels right for you.
