Joss Albone

Tuesday's from 4pm to 10pm. Last appointment 9pm. 

I am an integrative, humanistic counsellor. My work is essentially underpinned by person-centred values, offering clients a safe, warm and non-judgemental space that encourages exploration and growth. Should I work with you, I will meet you where you are, in your current experience with the belief that you know yourself best. I also believe you possess the innate ability to become the best version of yourself.

Before qualifying as a counsellor, I worked for schools, local authorities and charities supporting vulnerable people with challenging life experiences, such as homelessness, addiction and family breakdowns. These roles helped me develop my belief in the power of the individual, and the interpersonal skills to enable me to support people with compassion and empathy. 

Within my counselling I am particularly interested in how we relate to our bodies and the effect this can have on our well-being. Thoughts and feelings are stored within the body and can manifest as physical sensation. Based on this principle, I would work to encourage a deeper exploration of your world and how you connect with feelings and sensation, making sense of your world through your body in the therapy room. 

The sessions I offer are £65, 50 minutes in length and take the following forms:

One-to-one, Face to Face therapy sessions.

I offer sessions at my private practice, based in Dalston Junction, between 4pm and 9pm every Tuesday. I am located within walking distance of the station in a clean and well-ventilated therapy room.

*Coming soon* I am currently in the process of setting up sessions outdoors for clients who may prefer this way of engaging in therapy.

Remote and Online Sessions -I offer sessions over Zoom or Telephone. 

Prior to the session, I will send you a short form to complete, which will provide me with a sense of how you're feeling at this moment in your life, and what brings you to therapy. I will provide you with a copy of the agreement between us, outlining what you can expect from me and what I can expect from you. This should be signed and returned prior to our first session.

Having a good connection with your therapist is important. During our first session, we will have the opportunity to see if we believe that we have the type of connection needed for the foundation of a successful working relationship.
