About Me

My BiO

Hi, I am Pritesh. The lead Psychotherapist and founder of London CBT & EMDR Therapy.

I have worked in mental health for over twenty years, starting as a Mental Health Occupational Therapist and progressing to manage an inpatient therapy department. In 2012, I retrained as a CBT Therapist, spending seven years in the NHS before moving into private practice. I’m passionate about helping people overcome common mental health difficulties, drawing on both professional expertise and my own lived experience with anxiety and low mood. My approach blends a range of therapies, including CBT, EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I have supported hundreds of clients, from CEOs and lawyers, to doctors and media professionals. I aim to deeply understand each individual, their unique challenges and goals.

Outside of the therapy room, I am a husband, and father of two wonderful children. In my spare time, I am a passionate football fan, enjoy nature, and love stand-up comedy. A fulfilling creative outlet for me often involves songwriting and singing. All of these varied pursuits very much keep me grounded, and balanced in my everyday life.

Testimonials

Exceptional level of care and counsel from Pritesh Joshi who has supported me on a year long journey. Unwavering, sincere and professional CBT provided always at mutually agreeable dates and times, never has he let me down or not followed up with any promised support material. I would thoroughly recommend Pritesh for his experience, compassion and results.

I had a wonderful experience with my therapist called Pritesh. He was so kind and listened to me from the minute that I explained why I needed help. I’ve gone through a lot in the last six months, and I truly don’t believe I would’ve been able to do it without his support.

- Lisa F.

You have been an absolute lifeline.

Pritesh strikes a valuable balance between validating and gently challenging me to grow. I leave supervision feeling clearer, more resourced and better equipped for the challenges of life as a therapist.
