Josh Pulman Therapy offers individual face to face, or online psychotherapy.  It’s not a one size fits all approach, but one specifically designed around you and your needs. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and emotions, in order to facilitate your personal growth and self understanding. Whether you are in acute distress, or wanting to improve your general well-being, I have the training and skills to help.

I am an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist. This means I draw upon several psychological theories and use the arts as a means of enhancing the dialogues. I am a humanist and optimist and start from the belief that people have a natural inclination towards self-fulfilment and awareness. I believe that while all people share this desire and drive, each person enters therapy as unique in their make-up and history. This is what has brought them to the place they are in at that moment.

 

My theoretical orientation allows for the parts played by the psycho-social factors of gender, race, religion, class, age, sexual orientation, and biology.  It examines the role each has in how we see ourselves and how we feel about that role. The importance of these factors can’t be overlooked and is crucial to how the client sees themself and the therapist, in the room.  

 

Authenticity and friendliness are central to my therapeutic practice. Evidence has shown that the quality of the client/therapist relationship is possibly the most enabling factor in a positive outcome for the client.

While we can’t create a different past, we can with reflection, create a new understanding of our history and change our relationship with it. Integrating new evidence- based findings from biology, neuroscience and other quantitative sources with my practice, helps my aim of providing an effective experience and illuminating journey to mental health.

 

I am also a trained Art Therapist. Art therapy is still talking therapy but we use art materials to help the conversation along. Sometimes it helps to look at a problem from a different perspective ....
