Hello. I\u2019m a psychotherapist based in London who works with people across the UK to manage, or let go of, the challenges life causes. This is by using clinically proven techniques such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness.<\/p>\n

I passionately believe these are effective in dealing with the negative emotions we can all experience. These include anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, hurt, depression and envy amongst others.<\/p>\n

Whatever your challenge, you are welcome to get in touch for an initial chat to identify how we could work together to understand and move on from it. We can meet face to face or online, whatever suits you best.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m registered with, and approved by, leading health insurance companies, if that helps.<\/p>\n

\"\"I walked into my first therapy session with much trepidation about the unknown. Throughout the sessions I learnt about CBT and the techniques to challenge troubling thoughts and frustrations. Now, I leave feeling a weight off my shoulders and more confident about life\u2019s troubles. Manch helped me to uncover a new side to myself. Forever grateful.\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"I spent several weeks looking for a suitable psychotherapist last year. None of the one’s I contacted were willing to take me on claiming they have no experience with neurodivergent clients. Then I came across Manch Joshi\u2019s profile and was very impressed with his qualifications and way of thinking.He was not deterred by my neurodiversity and was willing to take me on. I have made excellent progress under his very patient and sympathetic guidance and cannot recommend him highly enough. He has given me back my confidence and ability to cope with my OCD which no longer impacts my life to the extent it did in the past.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"I found Manch after a close bereavement that affected me both mentally and physically. Although I was initially sceptical about CBT, he helped me see situations from different perspectives. His approach was calming, empathetic, but also logical and the techniques he shared helped me accept my situation and manage those difficult times. I would highly recommend him.\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"While I’d always been nervous about starting therapy, Manch made me feel at ease from the first session. He had a really logical and proactive approach, complete with practical exercises and stages, which was just what I needed. Thanks to Manch, I have a much healthier set of beliefs and am now in a much better place.\"\"<\/p>\n
