About Josh
Josh started in sexual assault advocacy before completing a Master of Counselling at Monash University in 2020. He completed internships at a high school and an employee assistance program, and later gained a graduate certificate in health and human services from the University of Melbourne. These roles shaped his practical approach to everyday problems.
His work has taken him into many settings. He has run group therapy for veterans, provided community telehealth, worked in a carceral counselling setting, and offered clinical supervision to counselling graduate students. This variety gives him exposure to different kinds of stress and loss.
Josh has provided counselling to military veterans, sex workers, LGBTQIA+ people, educators, international students and immigrants, older people, unhoused individuals, Indigenous Australians, and small business owners. He also completed a clinical certificate in group therapy and multicultural counselling from Shippensburg University in the USA.
His practice draws on person-centred strategies and uses elements from ACT, schema approaches, cognitive behavioural tools and REBT. He also considers existential and spiritually informed ideas when they are relevant to a person's concerns. Social justice and cultural competency are named values that inform how he works.
People meet him when they are unsure what comes next and want practical ways to manage worry, reconnect with values, or work through feelings of isolation and shame.

How his therapeutic methods work in online sessions
Josh draws on person-centred methods that focus on the client's current concerns and priorities. This approach means the therapist listens for what matters most and adapts conversation to those themes, which can help when someone is unsure what to do next.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and questions about life purpose. Elements from cognitive behavioural work and REBT involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Josh will discuss options with clients and adjust methods based on their goals, preferences and what works in early sessions. He treats the selection of techniques as something to test and refine together rather than a fixed plan.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fit with work and family commitments and fewer travel needs, which can make regular appointments simpler to keep. If you prefer to confirm exact session formats and scheduling options, check the listed online therapy options before booking so the format matches your needs.
