Alpa Joshi
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, practising in from London, UK and I have extensive training and experience in approaches to overcome trauma such as EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, Hypnotherapy and Somatic Therapy for adults and children. I also have specialist training in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal family systems (IFS) and Schema therapy to support adults and children who, during sessions are identified as having severe attachment and/or childhood trauma.
Over the years I have trained with and learned from some of the world’s leading experts in attachment, trauma and neuroscience. This experience allows me to draw from a broad and dynamic skillset to offer treatment that is both tailored and targeted, enabling deep healing and meaningful change.
My approach has been described as warm, personable and focused. My practice is inclusive, culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and neuro affirmative. I strive to cultivate a therapeutic space where clients of all ages feel safe, heard, supported and not judged.
I endeavour to offer care that is responsive, respectful and attuned to the full complexity of each person’s lived experience.
