Joy Zheng
Joy Zheng is an integrative counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works in private practice at The Awareness Centre in Clapham.
Conversation with Joy feels natural. As an integrative counsellor, Joy use different therapeutic methods, combining them to suit what works best for each person. Instead of relying on just one approach, she tailors her support to meet the unique needs of each client.
With a foundation in person-centred therapy, Joy creates a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts, emotions, and unresolved issues. She helps them reconnect with their values, build self-worth, and clarify their beliefs, empowering them to move forward with confidence and a stronger sense of identity.
Her training in psychodynamic therapy allows her to delve into the unconscious processes and behaviour patterns that influence her client’s current thoughts and actions. By understanding how your past experiences shape the present, she helps clients gain insight into their behaviours and emotions, leading to deeper self-awareness and healing.
Believing in the power of existential therapy, Joy guides her clients in examining life’s meaning and purpose, helping them find more fulfilment and direction, while encouraging them to live authentically by staying true to their own values rather than what was expected.
Through her work with NHS talking therapy, Joy has supported clients from diverse backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, unresolved childhood trauma, attachment issues, low self-esteem, insecurity, communication and relationship difficulties, anger management, work-related issue, bereavement, loss, life transitions, guilt and shame, loneliness, rumination, over-thinking, lack of motivation and managing ADHD symptoms
I worked with Joy whilst I was having some difficulties with work relationships and dealing with problems with my family. Joy was really attentive, a great listener and really helped me. I always felt at ease and comfortable, and I highly recommended her.
The counselling and guidance I received by Joy at the awareness centre has been invaluable and a huge help during a challenging time in my life.
Having been in and out of therapy for many years I found the approach and support to be very helpful and it enabled me to find clarity and the ability to not just face the many challenges in my life but start to deal with them. I am very grateful and would highly recommend Joy to anyone and everyone who would benefit from additional support through therapy. As hard and challenging as it was I always left feeling enlightened and lighter which was a huge lift at a difficult time. I found myself looking forward to the session every week. Thank you Joy.
