Hi. My name is Joanne. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Signing up for therapy takes courage, so well done for taking this first step.
I am an accredited member of the BACP, with seven years of professional work experience. I have NHS experience and this involved working with a variety of therapeutic issues and with people across a wide range of ages and backgrounds.
I am trained in both psychotherapy and CBT. The latter being particularly effective for treating anxiety. I am also qualified to work with depression using Person Centred Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD), which is evidenced based and endorsed by the NHS. I am also trained to work with relationship issues, as well as with bereavement and loss.
In our first session together we can discuss your unique and specific needs. CBT is fairly structured since it involves weekly homework and the gathering of evidence. After one or two initial diagnostic sessions, CBT consists of a set number of sessions based on a treatment plan that we formulate together. Given the nature of CBT, I can only offer CBT via video sessions. In comparison, psychotherapeutic counselling is less structured, and this tends to be more open-ended. The discussion in counselling sessions is directed by you and I will follow your lead. I can offer counselling via video, phone or instant messaging. In all cases I will suggest somatic exercises to help you to bring your nervous system into balance.
Regardless of whether we decide to work with CBT and/or counselling, continuity is incredibly important for successful therapeutic outcomes. We can agree on weekly or fortnightly sessions in our first session together. However, scientific evidence suggests that meeting regularly is key. Change does not occur overnight and therefore patience and faith are important to facilitate purposeful development and growth.
So if you're willing to make this commitment, and you're ready to build a pathway to a brighter and more peaceful future, then together we can find a way...

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
