Hi I’m Joel – Certified Counsellor and Master Personal Trainer.
Through personal and professional experience it has become increasingly apparent to me that there is a great need to combine physical and mental activity. As a result of this, I believe I have created a connection between traditional and modern therapies that achieve positive mental and physical results.

I started with Joel/Heartwork after battling a sexual assault/PTSD when I was a child, I’m in my 40s now. From the beginning Joel listened to me and guided me through my trauma, comforting me all the way.
He made me realise it wasn’t my fault. With his help over the last 6 months, I’ve been able to finally take control of my life, move forward and actually have a meaningful, trustful relationship.
Thank you so much.

A few months ago I was feeling quite lost and really just lacked life direction. It felt really overwhelming and I became quite anxious with decision making and knowing what choices were the “right” ones. Working with Joel really enabled me to dig deeper into the root of my concerns and unpack the unnecessary baggage. He gave me exercises to uncover what it was I really wanted to do with my life and supported me in making some tough decisions. The process wasn’t easy but I felt supported. It has changed the way I think about my life. I now feel really confident in what I am doing today and know I am moving forward in a direction that is truly mine. Using the tools Joel gave me I also now know I can change my life at anytime. More...

Joel has created a platform where 2 very important aspects meet. Physical & mental health. I strongly believe that whilst engaging in Physical fitness and having the tool to address some mental aspects, this is when true self flourishing happens. And has the potential to set up a more positive mindset and behaviours moving forward. Joel has also been knowledgeable in terms of my restrictions with injures to keep me moving. Highly recommend giving Joel a go. Thanks Joel for just being yourself. More...

I’ve been training with Joel for just over a year and with his support and guidance I’ve achieved more in this time than ever before! I’ve received many comments about how much I’ve progressed in that time! Joel’s supported me through my entire journey so far and encouraged me to do things I never thought possible! I’ve struggled with anxiety, self worth, and self image. Since Ive started Active Counselling with Joel, that has improved and I’ve gained so much more confidence in myself, my abilities and in my training! My motivation to train has increased and I enjoy training so much more. For me, training is a positive outlet when I’m feeling anxious or frustrated. Thanks soo much for continuing to challenge and support me! More...

I have been seeing Joel on and off for years. He has always been a terrific trainer and person to talk to during our sessions. Always easy to talk to and always gave great life advice. I could not recommend Joel enough and admire his fantastic work ethic. When training with Joel, it’s like training with an old friend. Thanks for everything over the years! More...

I’ve been training with Joel for close to three months and it’s been amazing so far! Focusing purely on technique, strength and conditioning. With such a busy schedule he always finds time to go out of his way and work around my lifestyle. Would highly recommend to anyone! More...

Joel is a super friendly pt who goes above and beyond tailoring sessions to suit your needs. With my numerous strains and injuries I never felt pressured or out of my comfort zone with his reassurance and modifications to suit me. A dead set Legend!

I first started training with Joel a few years ago in preparation of a wedding I was going to be attending. I saw him weekly for several months and he got me on the right track to lose the weight I desired. After I put a bit of the weight back on some years later, I decided to start PT sessions with him again. I found his knowledge of exercise, diet and general well-being to be fantastic and something that to this day I still use. More...

I have been training with Joel for a number of years. He is an experienced & committed trainer who has high expectations. I really enjoy the variety & challenge he puts into the sessions as he tailors the program and adjust it along the way according to my needs . He balances cardio, weights and incorporates stretching to be sure I get the most out of each session. I would recommend him if you are looking to improve your health and fitness long term. More...
