Integrative Counsellor
Hello, my name is Joanne and welcome to my profile.
Are you feeling anxious, sad, or overwhelmed? Are you feeling distressed by a particular difficulty? It is normal to feel daunted to even start looking for someone to help you, so taking that step takes courage.
As a qualified integrative counsellor, with a background in nutrition and eating problems within the NHS, I will provide you with the space to explore your difficulties in a supportive, understanding, and non-judgemental environment. With this joint exploration, there often arises an understanding of the difficulties in a new light which brings relief. This understanding can help you learn new and beneficial ways of responding to life’s challenges.
I have a special interest in the body and believe that our emotions and life stresses are experienced and held within. As we become more of aware of these sensations and related emotions, we can begin to understand the stories that lie underneath.
My training is in integrative counselling (Minster Centre, London) which means I have studied several different psychological approaches and aim to draw on them to different degrees depending on the individual client. I have 4 years’ experience working face to face.
The issues I work with include: Anxiety, ADD / ADHD, Bereavement, Child related issues, Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, Depression, Eating disorders, Health related issues, Identity issues, Loss, Menopause, OCD, Relationships, Self esteem, Spirituality, Stress, Women’s issues, Work related issues.
I am also an experienced NHS dietitian, based in a central London hospital, and have worked in the field of eating problems for over 25 years. In this time, I have worked with adults of different ages, different sexualities and from diverse social, cultural, and religious backgrounds.
If you want to explore your feelings and emotions in a safe, non-judgemental environment, I am here with the expertise and compassion to support you on your journey.
Fees: £65 per session. Free initial 15-minute telephone session. Concessions offered for low income, keyworkers, OAPs, and refugees.
