Counselling & Psychotherapy

Individual Counselling & Psychotherapy sessions are available.

Individual Counselling and Psychotherapy sessions are available for people who are in emotional and psychological distress.  This distress can take many forms including depression, fear, anxiety or a loss of meaning in life.  Counselling tends to be relatively short-term and to focus on specific current personal difficulties, while Psychotherapy is a long process which helps people to understand the deeper roots of their present difficulties with a view to developing a greater understanding and being much better able to manage in life.

Counselling & Psychotherapy

Work Experience

Joanne has worked in both public and private psychotherapy practice as a student and graduate psychotherapist. She works in a humanistic integrative way, focusing on the client and their potential for growth and self-integration. Methods are adapted based on the client’s needs and what they bring to the room, as opposed to using one fixed method. Joanne has experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety, identity issues, trauma, addiction, family systems, abuse, and relationship problems.

Underpinning Philosophy

Although trained in a humanistic manner, Joanne pulls from the integrative elements of her training quite frequently by using methods from psychodynamic, gestalt and existential therapies.
