Hello, my name is Dr Joanna Saddington. I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2006. Before setting up in private practice I worked in the NHS for 18 years. I am passionate about helping adults, young people, children and families overcome their difficulties. We all know life can be challenging, so it doesn't matter whether a problem is longstanding or is more recent. What is important, is that we work together to try to solve it. I always aim to work in a way that suits the individual and their needs, as well as aiming to deliver therapy empathetically and without judgment.

It can be difficult choosing the right therapist for you. My passion as a counsellor is to support you through your journey and support you with any emotional challenges. I will offer you compassion, respect, understanding and empathy without any judgement. When you are ready to take your first step in therapy, I will be there by your side to support and encourage you. This is your journey, and I’m privileged to share your path.

I provide an explorative space where you are able to find more clarity, happiness, more joy in life and feel more at peace within yourself, for example. I understand the importance for you to feel safe, and for you to feel that, whatever you bring, you are highly valued and genuinely respected. I believe that every individual is unique and I will tailor the therapeutic process to what suits you, working collaboratively, with a naturally developing process according to what is important and of value to you. Counselling can help us find new meanings and directions in life.
