Underpinning Philosophy

Psychotherapy promotes self-realization and is much more than an intervention on suffering, distress, discomfort, or uneasiness, it is also an opportunity for growth. People undertake a journey supported by the therapist, in a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment, where they develop a greater awareness of their own way of being and functioning. As a result, they become capable of making courageous choices towards their own authentic realisation. They also become more able to use their resources and make use of their talents. The real purpose of psychotherapy is not (only) to reduce the symptoms of psychological disorders but to develop positive qualities such as compassion, joy, peace, self-esteem, the experience of spiritual connection and love.

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.
