Joshua Miles

Hello, I am Joshua, an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist based in North, North West London and online.

Perhaps you are unhappy with some aspect of your life, experiencing a crisis or seeking insight into your unhappiness or anxiety. In a private and non-judgemental setting, I will carefully and thoughtfully listen to you and help you navigate your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

For over 12 years I have worked with people to explore and resolve difficulties in their lives and relationships, manage anxiety and depression or work through a life transition or crisis, enabling them to live a life that feels more genuine, connected and meaningful.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, especially if you feel confused about what you might need, aren’t sure what to expect, or wonder if speaking to someone will be helpful or if it will make a difference. These are all understandable and normal reactions to have, and it is important to find the right therapist for you, one you can build trust with.

I believe the difficulties, anxieties or turbulence we experience in our adult lives, the way we may think or feel about ourselves and how we relate to others, often have origins in our earlier lives and childhood. These experiences may have led to unhelpful patterns of thought, difficulties in forming and sustaining relationships or negative or unhealthy beliefs you hold about yourself. Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers you the opportunity for valuable self-expression and reflection on your life, relationships and experiences.

I hold full registration with the British Psychoanalytic Council and am an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, and abide by their codes of ethics.

Training & Experience

​I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from Birkbeck College, University of London and a BA in Counselling from Middlesex University.

​I have over 12 years experience working as a psychotherapist in private practice and within the charity sector. I have a background in education and have worked extensively with students and young adults, as well as with older ages.

​I have over 20 years experience as a musician, songwriter and producer.

Areas Of Expertise

Creativity

I have a specialist interest working with people from creative backgrounds such as artists, musicians or actors.

I have experience working with people who feel blocked creatively or somehow stuck, demotivated or losing interest in their creative process or work.

I will work with you to explore the difficulties and challenges inherent in creative fields, and work to help you understand and resolve past or present conflicts which might be impacting your creative work.

Length Of Sessions

All therapy sessions are 50 minutes long. Regular sessions are held at the same time each week.

I charge the full fee for missed and cancelled sessions.

​Health Insurance

​Aviva, AXA, BUPA and Cigna

Concessions

​I believe it is important that therapy is available for people from a wide range of backgrounds, and I currently have a small number of reduced fee spaces for people who are out of work, on low incomes or studying full time.

If you think you might benefit from psychotherapy, the first step would be for you to get in touch with me. I offer a FREE 10 minute phone consultation where you can tell me a little more about yourself. Please call me on 07905 409 517 or send an email to arrange this.

After this we may decide to schedule an Initial Consultation for which my fee is currently £85 for individuals and £110 for couples.

This will be a chance for us to think together about what might be most useful for you, whether short term counselling (for example 6 - 12 sessions) or open-ended psychotherapy would be more suitable.

Sessions are available throughout the week either in person at my consulting rooms in Kentish Town and Highgate or online.
