Welcome to Joanne Fitzgerald Therapy, a dedicated private practice where people can come and receive the support they need, with a client centred, empathetic approach. I believe that each individual has their own unique set of strengths, values and resources which can be used to help them live an enriched, fulfilling life. As your therapist, it will be my role to help you discover new ways to build upon these unique skills.
I have specific skills in working with eating disorders, trauma, suicidal/self-harm behaviours and general mental health struggles such as anxiety and depression and personality disorders. With experience in the youth Community mental Health space, I offer a wealth of knowledge and compassion across a broad range of mental health concerns.
Whether it is affecting your career, social life, relationships or your personal life, it doesn’t matter how long you have suffered. Together we can reprogram your automatic behaviours so that you are in control of your life.
