My Approach

I see therapy as a joint endeavour to which I bring my theoretical & clinical experience, and you bring your experience of being you. Together, we can be gently curious about your thoughts & feelings, and explore conscious and unconscious ”ways of being” that may be contributing to your distress. I aim to support you in identifying your inner resources and exploring how you can draw on them to feel less overwhelmed. I believe each client is unique, and so I aim to tailor each therapy to suit you, the individual.

About Me

Therapy provides an opportunity to reflect on what is troubling you away from the usual distractions of everyday life. I offer long & short-term therapy online or by phone. For a free video or phone call before committing to anything, please contact me. I'm happy to answer any questions at all that you might have.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

While this category is called 'Anger Management', I prefer to think of it as 'Anger Curiosity'. Rather than seeking to 'manage' anger, I encourage clients to be curious about their anger. For example, when does your anger tend to arrive? What memories do you have of anger in your family of origin? How was it managed? By asking these sorts of questions in the spirit of curiosity, not judgment, your own, personal story about your anger begins to emerge. The more clearly we are able to understand your unique experience of it, the clearer your own path to meaningful change becomes.
There's a lot in the media about anxiety these days - especially Social Anxiety. Anxiety is something we all experience at some time or another, but for some of us it can become overwhelming. Rather than try to suppress anxiety, I believe the answer lies in a willingness to listen to it. What is it trying to tell us? For example, we may discover our anxiety is trying to help us out - to warn us of a sense of impending danger. This is why it's important not to simply try and overcome it without understanding why it's present. The more fully we come to understand our own anxieties, the better equipped we become to deal with the underlying causes. Anxiety tends to fade, over time, once it's no longer 'needed'. In other words, my approach is to find, and deal with, the root cause, rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Whether you have been diagnosed with depression or simply feel this best captures the way you feel, I will be happy to hear from you. I am interested in your, unique experience of this and will work with you to better understand what is happening for you. I believe each client has their own unique story, and so rather than applying a textbook approach, I aim to bring an open mind and non-judgmental curiosity to bear.
I work exclusively online and by phone, and have undertaken extensive training in how to do so safely. In my experience, online therapy can be very effective, however it also requires you, the client, to think carefully about your environment and your privacy. I have put together a list of things you can put in place to help keep the online environment safe and to get the most out of your online sessions. To read this, please go to my website - joannaonlinetherapy.com - and visit the 'Online Therapy' section.
Relationships come in many forms - romantic partners; family; friends; and also our relationship with ourselves, i.e. how we think of ourselves and how we imagine others see us. If you are struggling with any particular relationship or if you feel, generally, that your relationships are unsatisfactory, therapy can provide the ideal space to explore this. My aim is to sit with you, in the online space, as we explore your own, unique relationship story. As we uncover, together, where things may have gone wrong, we can be guided by this to find a new way forward.
