About Me


Hi, I'm Joanne


I know reaching out for counselling can feel daunting, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a while. My role is to offer a calm, understanding space where you can explore what’s happening in your life, with no pressure and no judgement.

I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My core training is in Transactional Analysis, but I work in an integrative way — which means I adapt each session to suit you and your unique needs.

Additionally I offer I-CBT (Inference Based CBT) which is a specialised therapy for OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).  This therapy will help you target the faulty reasoning of the obsessional doubts that lead to the distress, which lead to the compulsions.  By targeting the beginning of the OCD process, we can resolve the difficult feelings and compulsions.  If you suffer with OCD, please contact me for more details of how I-CBT could work for you.

Over the years, I’ve worked alongside people from many different walks of life, each with their own challenges, struggles, and hopes. What I’ve learned is that there’s no single “right way” through. What matters most to me is meeting you where you are, listening with care, and being alongside you as you find a path that feels safe, supportive, and uniquely yours.

I am a warm and compassionate person who is committed to supporting you to make your life happier, feel more fulfilled and achieve your potential.
