''Whilst some may be sceptical of accessing these services via telephone, I've found it to be helpful in allowing a level of openness in a matter of a few sessions that might have taken me many months in person.  I avoided therapy/counselling for many years due to the vulnerability it might entail, but felt relaxed speaking to Joanne from the first session''

depression

...and many other challenges


I am on the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) register and I am fully insured and I have an enhanced DBS.


If you are looking at this page, you (or someone you know), may be experiencing emotional distress, want help making sense of feelings or to develop coping strategies. You have come to the right place: safe, supportive, confidential counselling with an experienced therapist.




Everybody has the ability to change their thoughts and change their lives. Together we can explore your world and your unique experiences, and I will endeavour to be a companion on your journey to discover paths for change. I have had the honour of working with people of all ages and from all walks of life, who have come to therapy with a wide variety of personal challenges.


My promise to you is to put every effort into understanding you and your world, and the things you are experiencing, or have experienced, which have brought you here.

How can counselling help?


Counselling can help by:


  • Encouraging you to be your REAL self.  It can feel difficult to be authentic sometimes (or all the time!) if we feel judged/pressured or there are expectations put on us.  This can lead us to put on a 'mask' for others.  This can lead to complicated feelings, bury feelings deeply and even put us on a path in life that we aren't happy to be on.  How nice would it be to just BE yourself?!
  • Encourage you to connect to, label, and really feel what you are FEELING.  Why? Because it helps us to know ourselves better, and explore things at a deeper level.  It also links to the above point!  ''Know thyself''.
  • It can be transformative for a counsellor to reflect back to you what you are saying - this works in two ways: 1) sometimes saying things out loud has a exceptionally strong impact and can help process things in a new way 2) it can help put things in perspective.
  • You may not have somebody in your life that you feel you can confide in about what you think/how you feel, or somebody to 'check-in' with you on a weekly basis, so counselling can provide this also.
  • Helping you invest in yourself.  We are all worth it!
