Joseph Varghese

Victim Support Counsellor

I work with adults and adolescents in my counselling practice. I am a Victim support counsellor with over 22 years of experience working in mental health, providing both acute and ongoing support in hospital and community settings.

I have experience delivering short- and medium-term therapy and am trained in a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). I take a collaborative, person-centred approach to treatment, working with you to develop an individualised treatment plan that reflects your unique needs, goals, and strengths. My holistic yet evidence-based approach considers the emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual aspects of your wellbeing, supporting you to build resilience, improve relationships, and achieve greater overall health and fulfilment.

Therapy Questions[cite: 10]

Learn more about how we work.[cite: 10]

While both support mental health, psychotherapy and psychology feel quite different in practice. Psychotherapy focuses on deep, relational conversation that explore the patterns, experiences and relationships that shape how you feel and behave. It’s flexible, unhurried, and meets you where you are.[cite: 10]

Psychology, particularly CBT-based approaches, tends to focus on structured tools and strategies for managing specific symptoms over a set number of sessions. People often choose psychotherapy when they are looking for long term therapy to understand themselves at a deeper level rather than follow a fixed program.[cite: 10]
