From the very first session, I had a clear sense that I liked Joanna, and also that I liked her interpretation of me. I felt understood in a way that was accurate and generous, which immediately created trust. I came to therapy with an ADHD diagnosis layered on top of a recent IBS diagnosis, and a feeling of needing to understand those things. What I didn’t know was that I needed someone who would hold that complexity without pathologizing it. That is exactly what I have experienced and it has made me feel so much more relaxed. Sessions with her feel genuinely uplifting. I leave with more clarity, and a sense of steadiness. Most importantly, I feel respected. I do not feel reduced to a diagnosis. I feel seen as someone thoughtful, driven, and capable who is choosing to reflect and grow. Joanna does not rush to fix, label, or simplify. She listens carefully, reflects thoughtfully, and asks good questions gently and clearly. I feel pushed to view things and ask myself questions in a way that supports growth rather than shame. As a therapist, Joanna is kind and supportive in a way that feels respectful and steady, never patronizing. Her insight, intelligence, and knowledge make working with her feel very worthwhile. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist with ability to see straight to the core of things, often articulating what matters most before you are able to fully see it yourself.

- BACP
I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in repeating emotional patterns—especially those who appear to be coping on the outside but feel exhausted, overthink everything, or struggle to truly switch off.
You might be managing work, relationships, and responsibilities, yet still feel internally unsettled, self-critical, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating in your life or relationships. Many of my clients describe feeling “fine on the surface” but struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or burnout underneath.
I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to understand what is happening beneath these experiences. My core approach is Person-Centred, meaning we work at your pace and focus on what feels most important to you.
With over 15 years of clinical experience in London and online, I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work integratively, drawing on CBT to support practical tools for anxiety and overthinking, and psychodynamic therapy to explore deeper emotional and relational patterns.
I primarily work with individual adults, and also support couples when appropriate.
I commonly support clients with:
Anxiety and overthinking
Stress and burnout
Relationship difficulties and repeating patterns
Low self-esteem and self-doubt
Life transitions and feeling stuck
I am an active and responsive therapist and aim to provide a consistent, reliable space where you feel supported both during and between sessions. I typically respond to messages promptly and prioritise continuity in our work together.
I currently have availability for new clients and offer flexible scheduling. If this resonates with you, you’re very welcome to reach out—I would be glad to support you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
