I first started therapy a little over a year ago, I was shy and kept quite about my issues and buried them as to not feel like a burden. It didn't take me to long to become comfortable talking to Joel about my issues which is unusual for me and I have had a huge change in my confidence and my self esteem thanks to Joel he made me realise that my feelings and opinions matter and taught me how to make my voice heard when I felt silenced and trapped.

Joel is an amazing therapist. He is patient, empowering, kind and he breaks complex things down in a way for me to understand deeply. He has helped me learn so much about myself, and also helped me navigate the most challenging circumstances in my life. We have a lot to work through and I will keep working with Joel for the foreseeable. Thank you Joel, you may never know truly how much you have helped me help myself.

My sessions with Joel have been truly inspiring. He’s a wonderful partner for this work and I always feel leaving better than I did before. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

I didn't believe in Therapy, until I met Joel - he understands me and helps me reflect on how I'm feeling. He really cares, and is a great listener. I look forward to our calls and healing.

I feel that Joel is really supportive and empathetic to problems concerning my anxiety and has encouraged me to put myself first.

Joel has been instrumental in helping me manage my emotions after a heartbreaking breakup and avoid slipping into depression. From our first session, his exceptional listening skills and thoughtful questions made me feel understood and supported. Joel's empathetic and practical approach provided me with the tools to navigate my conflicting emotions and find peace. He created a non-judgmental environment that allowed me to open up and express my vulnerabilities. Thanks to his guidance, I have made significant progress and feel more at peace with myself. I highly recommend Joel to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.

Joel is great. I was connected with him during a time in my life where proper guidance was crucial. He helped me through the major changes I was experiencing in a way I could not have done myself. The guidance he gave me was invaluable. I am choosing to explore other therapists through BetterHelp not because of anything Joel did or did not do. I am choosing to seek out other therapists purely for selfish reasons of wanting to explore what else is out there.

Joel is a fantastic therapist who is empathetic and professional in his approach towards clients. He really helps to understand client’s thoughts and feelings and provides practical solutions to the relevant issues.

Gentle, kind, understanding and supportive. Really enjoyed our sessions together and feeling much better because of them.

Joel is not only an amazing listener, but also asks really helpful questions for me to reflect on. He really tries to understand more about my situation and helps me delve deeper into the emotions and anxieties I've felt in the past/present. He is the therapist I have been looking for and I feel very lucky that I found him!

Very easy to talk to

After just a few sessions, it's abundantly clear that Joel is not only immensely likable on a personal level, but he also demonstrates a sincere interest in his patients. He listens attentively and provides not only guidance but also a range of practical tools and techniques to facilitate self-improvement. My experience with Joel's counseling has been overwhelmingly positive thus far.

Great guy, therapist and person to have in your corner

Joel is a great listener, very empathetic ! I'm super comfortable talking to him in whatever things that cross my minds though sometimes it doesn't make sense at all! I feel safe when I talk to him! I love his big laugh!!!!

Even though we’ve only had 3 or 4, my sessions with Joel have quickly become a staple of my week. There is an ease to our conversations and a short hand which I am very grateful for. Joel is a great listener, who chooses his moments to ask thoughtful, well constructed questions that not only tackle the subject at hand but also allows room for further discovery. Very happy with the work we’ve done so far and look forward to more sessions in the future

Joel has been very helpful to me . I am starting to see everything in a positive way. Thank you Joel

As a young male new to parenting and challenging workplace dynamics. Joel has helped me navigate through emotions and is guiding me as a mentor who I’d recommend to anyone. I’ve found therapy to be a great debrief from the week and a great tool to learn more about yourself.

I was the type who was skeptical of therapy, but Joel has shown me the value of it. He genuinely cares and takes the time to help you process and make connections between your thoughts. I am very glad I was paired with Joel and would totally reccomend him to anyone. Joel cares about you.

Great listener, I love talking to him. Highly recommend

I’ve had multiple sessions with therapists before outside of BetterHelp, and I’ve never encountered someone like Joel. What makes Joel different is how empathetic he is, his active listening skills, giving me certain methods to heal and forgive, and how he helps me shift and widen my perspectives to more positive ones. And most importantly I felt how committed he is to helping others and that made me feel comfortable to share thoughts I never shared before.
