Joel Simpson

Joel Simpson is a UKCP registered psychotherapist, working in private practice, and an interpersonal group facilitator and trainer. Through psychotherapeutic, queer, intersectional dialogues, Joel’s professional commitments sit within a personal intention to listen, speak, lead, teach, and write, through a reclaimed voice and heart. He integrates soulful, relational and ancestral perspectives to deepen into the potential for individual and collective healing. Joel considers how human experiences are shaped through shifting, converging cultural identities, histories and politics. Joel works as a celebrant, deepening meaning-making around rites of passage, transitions and celebrations. He crafts love-centred ceremonies for end-of-life thresholds, alongside naming and couples’ rituals.
