Underlying philosophy

She believes that integrating past and present experiences can help to resolve emotional difficulties, and contribute to the growth and development of the individual. Michelle’s goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive environment in which people can explore their problems free of judgement in a strong therapeutic relationship. Michelle’s areas of interest include treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, stress, grief, loss, and personal development.

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.
