About Dr Joel Sheridan
London Psychologist · HCPC REGISTERED
15+ Years of Experience
Specialist in anxiety, overthinking, burnout and low self-esteem
I’m Dr Joel Sheridan, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. I work with adults who may appear capable and composed on the outside while privately experiencing anxiety, burnout, low mood, self-criticism or a sense of being stuck.
Many of the people I work with are professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs and leaders managing high levels of responsibility and internal pressure. Therapy provides a structured space to understand what is happening, identify the patterns keeping difficulties going, and develop more effective ways of responding.
“Joel’s kind and professional approach helped me gain clearer insight and find better ways of dealing with challenges.”
— Jose, Lawyer
My Approach to Therapy
Good therapy involves more than applying techniques. It begins with developing a clear understanding of your difficulties, how they developed, and what may be maintaining them. A strong therapeutic relationship provides the foundation for exploring these patterns openly and making meaningful change.
People often arrive caught in cycles of worry, self-pressure, avoidance or overthinking. Therapy can help make sense of these responses, develop a clearer psychological formulation, and identify practical ways of responding differently.
Clients often describe me as calm and compassionate as well as pragmatic - someone who helps them feel understood while bringing psychological clarity, structure and practical direction.
