“What is the bravest thing you have ever said?” asked the boy… “Help” said the horse (Charlie Mackesy). I feel passionate that you have the right to enter into a supportive relationship. I will offer you a safe space and time in which you will be accepted, heard and understood without any fear of judgement. It is a space to breathe and reflect at your own pace. I don't believe we have it all figured out, but from my own personal struggles and life experiences I do have an in depth understanding of how life-changing counselling can be. I would like to share your journey with you and I will value your bravery in asking for help.

Sometimes we all need a little help, juggling the pressures responsibilities of work, families and relationships. Are you looking for someone to help you understand your anxiety or depression. I work as a Person Centred Counsellor/Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I work with depression, bereavement, general anxiety disorder (GAD) relationship issues, children (bullying/self-harm) and anxiety. Counselling can help alleviate some of the most distressing symptoms that people feel and allow you to see things from a different perspective. Therapy can help start this process of developing insight and self-awareness about your situation.

Maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be all along. Our lives present unique challenges – relationship difficulties, bereavements, life transitions, & chronic symptoms - often creating feelings of frustration, anxiety, & sadness. At such times it is easy to forget that we all need assistance in addressing these challenges, especially as they can often feel overwhelming, or even impossible, to deal with. We all deserve to have support when we are struggling, & often it is specifically this support that allows change to occur.

The aim of sessions is to work towards an understanding of the challenges you face and the changes you wish to make. During sessions, you will be the focus of our attentions and I will value you without judgement, as a unique person, an equal. Having been in counselling myself, I have an understanding of the process. It can be a daunting prospect, and I will support you in that journey. I have listed many specialities and whilst I do have experience of working with them, I believe there is more to you than a "diagnosis" or an "issue" so the focus is on you the whole person, and whatever you choose to bring.

Hello, I’m Joanne, I would like you to know you don’t have to be in crisis or have gone through serious trauma to seek help. Many of us diminish our experiences and anxieties because we feel others have it worse, or you feel you should be able to manage on your own. Therapy has numerous benefits and can help you understand and cope with your problems, be it stress, anxiety, or relationship difficulties.

I believe that sometimes we all need someone to take the time to listen and support us to make sense of our feelings and emotions. I can offer you a safe and confidential environment to explore areas that might feel uncomfortable for you. I understand that past experiences can impact on present difficulties and we don't always know how to explore the emotions we are feeling. Therapy can offer the support required for a variety of issues and talking to an impartial and supportive therapist can help validate your worries or concerns.

Sometimes, it might be difficult to find your way through challenging times alone, or understand how something significant in your life has affected you. Within therapy, we can work together to discover a way through. Sharing thoughts, feelings and memories can be intense and painful, especially if it is your first time opening up to someone else; exploring such things can make you feel worse before you feel better. Therapy helps this process become a movement towards personal growth, understanding, acceptance and change, free of any judgment.

I have very specific training in domestic abuse, sexual violence, PTSD and CPTSD. I work to provide you with tools in your here and now. I am a trauma-informed compassionate therapist who works integratively mainly drawing on person-centred, compassion focussed and somatic elements of therapy. I understand that life can be tough and sometimes we just do not know what is happening or where to begin. I like to help pull at the threads until we can lace together what makes sense in your world. I believe that everyone is unique in this world and therefore I will work intuitively to help you find the answers you need.

I am a qualified psychotherapist working primarily within the existential model. I also use the techniques of CBT, solution-focused brief therapy and transactional analysis where appropriate. My approach is pragmatic rather than theory driven, with the aim of supporting the client in the most effective way possible to explore their situation and bring about positive change. On a personal level, I bring to the therapy room my long experience of life and its difficulties, and a philosophical perspective that draws on existentialism, Buddhism, Taoism, Stoicism and Epicureanism.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
