About Me
My name is Joanne Brown and I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Although my core training is in Transactional Analysis, I have an integrative approach to counselling so that my methods are adapted to your individual needs.
My professional background is largely in social care and I have over 20 years experience working with adults in various settings who have needed support or advice, and over the past nine years I have transferred these skills over into developing my counselling career.
Some of the issues I have worked with include addiction, disability, offending, mental health, loss, grief, life limiting illness etc.
Through my extensive experience and training I have worked with people from many walks of life with many different life experiences. I believe that all people are unique and have their own individual needs. Therefore I aim to tailor any support to meet those needs – working together to find the best way for you to feel safe and to create the right environment to make the changes you wish.
I am a warm and compassionate person who is committed to supporting people to make their lives happier, feel more fulfilled and achieve their potential.
Why Counselling?
There are many reasons why you may be considering counselling. Maybe there is something in your life which doesn't feel quite right and you'd like to change.
What do I offer?
I provide a confidential, safe place to explore your fears, concerns and anxieties in a one-to-one setting.
The Sessions
All counselling sessions take place in Flixton, Manchester, in a private comfortable room.
