Key details
Dr Joe Hinds
Senior Lecturer in Psychotherapy and Counselling
I have been a Senior Lecturer within the MSc programme of Psychotherapy and Counselling at University of Greenwich since 2018. I am an integrative psychotherapist and member of the UKCP (UPCA) and the BACP with a background in social psychology and I hold a P/G Diploma in individual and group supervision. I have been involved with a number of client groups over the years such as those with substance addiction (long term heroin & alcohol use) and end-of-life (palliative) care alongside my own small private practice. I have a particular interest in harnessing the natural environment as a medium to practice and research psychotherapy outdoors (Ecopsychotherapy) and I take an existential, phenomenological and relational approach to both.

Research / Scholarly interests
Joe has an interest in taking therapy outdoors (ecotherapy) and the transpersonal, and he utilises qualitative research methodologies to better understand these perspectives. Joe takes an integrative approach to therapy, so alongside his relational, existential and phenomenological approaches, there is also a consideration of unconscious, transferential and attachment based material and processes, such as, for instance, those that relate to death anxiety.
