Joshua Kugel

Psychologist

Education:

PhD (Clinical Psychology), BScience (Hons)

With a PhD (Clinical Psychology) and an active role in academic research, Josh has a strong grounding in psychological science. He also believes that what ultimately makes therapy effective, is an authentic, honest, heart-to-heart connection between therapist and patient.

Josh is a non-judgemental, warm therapist who approaches therapy with humility and deep respect for people’s own capacity for healing and growth. He offers an environment where clients feel deeply heard and accepted; where it becomes possible to reconnect with parts of themselves that may have long been forgotten or buried. He supports clients to clarify what truly matters to them and to develop the awareness and skills needed to align their life with their values.

Josh is lit up by seeing adults and adolescents flourish – developing self-understanding and clarity, becoming more fully themselves, and living rich and meaningful lives. He empowers clients by taking a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, drawing on a range of evidence-based modalities and tailoring therapy to the needs and preferences of each unique person.

Josh has worked in both public and private sectors, and has experience with trauma, neurodiversity, depression, anxiety, parent-child relationships, OCD, grief and loss, perfectionism, and personality disorders.
