About Joanne
It feels as though the world is ever increasing its demands, and as a result of this it's easy to lose yourself in the wilderness of life. You may find shelter in a cave and stay there for many years, but it's cold, dark and lonely and might not be somewhere you really want to be. If only there were some way to get out of the cave and find a pathway out of this place...
That's where I come in. Together, we can create a map with many routes and I will be right beside you whichever one you choose to take. We can look at what tools you might need on your journey and also navigate relationships that may or may not be useful for you as you begin to find your way.
As you can see, I like working with metaphor as I find it useful across all different kinds of difficulties and challenges that I work with, including Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Abuse, Bereavement and loss, self esteem and my particular interests of Disordered Eating and Body Dysmorphia. I offer both short and long term therapy for as long as you need.
I offer a free 30 minute consultation via video chat, where we can discuss the types of difficulties you may be facing right now and we can see if we might fit well together. If I'm not the right person for you, we can talk about getting you to the right person or the right service for what you're looking for. If that all sounds good, please get in touch and we can start making plans to help you out of your own cave.
Training & Experience
I hold a level 4 diploma in Integrative Counselling and have been working in mental health since 2021. I have previous employment with Mind as a Wellbeing Practitioner where I helped others in a 1:1 setting with all aspects of their wellbeing, including signposting to relevant services and agencies where necessary. While there, I also ran emotional support groups and delivered psychoeducational courses to help others manage their mental health challenges.
I also worked at a local crisis support service during evenings, where my skills were more tailored to de-escalation techniques and strategies to ensure others could keep themselves safe. I worked closely with the Crisis team and CMHT during this time, which promoted a more supportive network of professionals for those who were acutely struggling with their mental health.
