Life can sometimes feel too much and you may find yourself struggling to cope and unable to manage work, relationships and family commitments as you have done previously. Coming to a place of acceptance that you need the help of someone else is a huge step in itself and reaching out for counselling can feel daunting and takes an immense amount of courage.
Counselling provides an opportunity to speak to a trained mental health professional in confidence about the issues that are causing you the most emotional pain and marks the beginning of a journey that provides the opportunity to explore difficulties being experienced.
My name is Joanne and I am a fully qualified MBACP Professional Therapeutic Counsellor. I work in a person-centred, non-directive way and strive to offer clients a safe and nurturing and non judgemental environment, where thoughts and feelings can be explored without the fear of shame or rejection.
I work with clients experiencing a range of issues, which may include anxiety / low mood, relationship issues or work-related stress and have a particular interest in recovery from addiction. I incorporate the use of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help clients to manage psychological distress and develop positive coping strategies.
