Lake Macquarie Counselling & Psychotherapy
Welcome to Lake Macquarie Counselling & Psychotherapy
Welcome my name is Josh Wilson. Here at Lake Macquarie Counselling and Psychotherapy my aim is to provide my individual clients and couples with a safe and non-judgemental space for you to come and talk about any issues or problems that you feel are affecting you and your life at the present time. Often simply sharing with somebody else the emotional burdens we are carrying within ourselves can bring great relief to our current state of being. Or perhaps you are looking for some kind of clarity or insight into a particular issue you are struggling with, it is my goal to help you achieve this. You can be heard.
Beyond Talk Therapy
While talking about our issues is greatly relieving for many people, you may feel the need for something a little deeper. At Lake Macquarie Counselling and Psychotherapy this is an option I have chosen to specialise in. With the use of mindful techniques and practical exercises my clients are able to gain access to the root causes of their thoughts, feelings and habits that they feel are holding them back. This then gives you the option for true change to occur and it is this that many of us are searching for in our therapy journey.
The Space
I conduct all sessions from my home office here in Cardiff. My therapy room has its own discrete entrance at the side of the building so you can feel free to come straight on in. Where possible I provide enough time between my client appointments so that you will have your own space to arrive to your session.

Sessions For Individuals & Couples
Individual Sessions
If you’re experiencing depression, anxiety or just a general sense of dissatisfaction with day-to-day life, it’s important not to suffer in silence. Here at Lake Macquarie Counselling & Psychotherapy, I
offer personalised services designed to help you adjust negative thinking patterns and implement coping strategies. I will work with you at your pace, helping you integrate mind and body processes to foster healing. Often the process of simply talking to someone neutral can be very helpful in itself.
Couples/Marriage Counselling
If you are looking for a counsellor in Lake Macquarie or a couples/marriage counselling service then Lake Macquarie Psychotherapy & Counselling is here to help. Whether it's improving communication between partners in order to find a way back to each other or finding ways to respectfully end a relationship that is healthy for everyone, I can help couples explore these issues and more. Using tools and techniques to improve communication and help each person to express what is needed in a safe space I aim to bring couples more clarity to their position and reach the best outcome.
How Sessions Work
Although I will personalise your session for your unique requirements, and I generally adhere to a set format. This typically entails the following:
- I will bring up the general outline of how each session can work depending on what each individual client may require from therapy. From there, clients are invited to share exactly what it is that has brought them to counselling. For many people, simply talking to someone about what they are experiencing in their lives and the impact it is having on them can bring about feelings of acceptance and that something ‘more positive’ may be possible. For other clients, it may often be required that a deeper exploration of situations and issues may be needed for more clarity to be achieved. This is particularly helpful for people who have a repeating pattern or scenario throughout their lives which they require help to transform.
- I will work with you to help you address the root cause of your emotional issues and implement coping strategies. He will spare no effort to assist you in recognising and overcoming the hurdles preventing you from living life to the fullest.
Client safety, comfort and wellbeing is prioritised during all sessions. If you’d like to find out more, contact me today.
My psychotherapy sessions encompass a range of techniques. All are designed to help treat mental conditions you may be experiencing, as well as change unwanted thoughts and behaviours.
