Joy Zheng

Conversation with Joy feels natural. She provides a compassionate and empathetic space where clients feel free to engage openly without fear of judgment. As an integrative counsellor, she tailors different approaches to meet individual needs. Her training in the person-centred approach creates a nurturing environment for clients dealing with low self-esteem, guilt and shame, helping them reconnect and empower with their authentic selves

Believing in the power of an existential approach, Joy addresses the challenges of human existence, particularly helping individuals dealing with depression and anxiety to find meaning and fulfilment in their lives. Her training in Psychodynamic therapy promotes self-awareness by bringing the unconscious mind into consciousness, helping individuals understand how the past influences their present behaviour.

Originally from Shanghai, China, with a background in the music industry, Joy intimately understands the fundamental human needs for creativity and expression. Her unique journey has granted her profound insights into these needs. She will guide clients to gain insight, manage emotions and stress, develop healthy coping strategies, cultivate the confidence needed to take those initial steps and rebuild their lives starting from here and now

Joy is an integrative counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works within The Awareness Centre’s NHS Wandsworth counselling service and Low Cost Counselling Service in Clapham, and is currently working towards completing a Diploma in therapeutic counselling.
