I work a lot with people who've never seen a counsellor before. I'm interested in who you are now, where you want to be, and work with you to get there.

I can help you find your strengths, collaborate on strategies that work for you, and listen when you need someone to really hear your story.

Being flexible in the way that we think and being open to change is essential for developing and strengthening positive psychological wellbeing. Being psychologically fit is the foundation of a vital life. We all have ingrained habits, beliefs, rules, behaviours and ways of thinking about the world. Some of these provide us the tools to navigate our lives in a positive and flexible way and some can be severely restrictive, impacting us all in unique ways, from complex mental health issues to performance related difficulties in our work and relationships.

Joanne facilitates therapeutic conversations that opens up space to reflect and explore what is important to you and what you accord value to, by making meaning of your emotional, behaviours and thought processes, through understanding how problems effect the relationships you have with yourself and others. The insight that Joanne has, has led to an understanding that when your core needs/values are compromised, this usually is the cause for conflict. ​

My approach focuses on giving attention to the emotional and the practical. This begins in offering a space to share your issues and concerns around what has led you to counselling and how they may be impacting you in life. We can then explore what is important to you and what your expectations of therapy are. Based on this discussion and understanding, we will strategize towards goals and outcomes that will formulate a plan you feel comfortable with, holding space for emotional processing along the way.

We all have times in our lives when we feel stuck or like something just isn't going right - life isn't playing out the way we hoped.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist with 8 years experience working with children, youth, and adults to help them better understand their experience and move towards living a valued and meaningful life, negotiating barriers to this as we go.
