About Me

Hello and welcome! I’m Joanna, a dedicated and qualified counsellor with four years of extensive professional training and over 300 client hours. Transparency and integrity are at the core of my practice, and my journey has been one of profound personal and professional growth. I am deeply committed to helping others navigate their own paths through life’s difficulties.

I have personally faced the challenges of unresolved trauma, low self-worth, anxiety, relationship breakdowns, and the pain of losing someone to suicide. Through my own journey in therapy, I’ve learned to accept and embrace my vulnerabilities. I’ve come to know and make peace with my inner child, which has been a crucial part of my healing process.

Counselling transformed my life and inspired me to become a qualified counsellor, driven by a passion to help others through their life challenges. The saying, “You can only go as far with your clients as you have gone with yourself,” truly resonates with me.

When I’m not seeing clients you can find me walking in nature with my dog, cooking and dancing in the kitchen with family, or curled up with a good book. I believe that taking time for self-care is essential, and I encourage my clients to find activities that bring them joy and peace.

Before counselling, I was very guarded and anxious. I struggled to be open, present and see myself as a priority. Right from the very first session, Joanna heard me, guided me, and presented such warmth and understanding that I looked forward to the sessions every week. I loved her methods, caring approach, and her knowledge of great resources. I noticed I was able to understand myself a lot better and worked towards becoming a better version of myself. I would recommend Joanna to everyone, especially those who feel anxious, she will make you feel very at ease right from the start. Thank you Joanna!

I would like to say a huge thank you to Jo for my first ever real experience in therapy. Even though I was very anxious sharing my life and all I knew with a stranger, Jo made me extremely comfortable and the sessions just flowed naturally. I was excited for each session & it was a real eye opener for me. I no longer feel guilty to take care of ME & always put myself first. Thank you
