About me
Hi, I'm Joel, creator of the Confident Therapist Hub
I’m a mid-career integrative therapist and coach with a particular interest in trauma recovery, codependency, addiction and men’s wellbeing. I also bring almost 25 years’ experience in adult education - designing programmes, qualifications, assessments and e-learning that genuinely change how people learn and grow.
Over the years, I’ve seen (and experienced) how demanding it is for therapists to stay well in this profession. We balance client work, supervision, ethics, CPD, and life outside practice - yet much of the CPD available focuses on external techniques or diagnostic categories rather than supporting the therapist behind the work.
The Confident Therapist Hub exists to change that. It’s grounded in Confidence-Centred Practice™: an ND-inclusive, identity and power-aware, trauma-informed approach that strengthens the person delivering the therapy, not just the tools they use.
Drawing on the Confident Therapist Framework™, the Hub’s four learning pathways support inner confidence, external presence, core skills and sustainable business practice, so development feels integrated, practical and genuinely transformative.
The Hub offers a best-in-class learning experience designed to help therapists build confidence from the inside out and stay grounded in who they are, not who they think they “should” be.
We’ve recently launched our signature first course, Overcome Imposter Syndrome, with new courses across all four pathways coming very soon. Watch this space.
