Karl Fortune

Work Experience

Since graduation, Karl has worked extensively with clients dealing with issues such as bereavement, addiction, anxiety, marriage breakdown and sexuality. I view the therapeutic encounter as a collaboration between myself and the client with no pre-conceived or pre-assumed answers or solutions. Each client’s issues are unique themselves and the way forward can be discovered in a trusting and non-judgemental environment. As Carl Jung (1875-1961) said “Those who look outside, Dream; Those who look inside, Awaken”

Underpinning Philosophy

Karl offers client centred, integrative approach to psychotherapy which also incorporates an interest in both Existential and Gestalt therapies.

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.
