My Approach

Therapy provides an opportunity for you to reflect on what is troubling you away from the usual distractions of everyday life. Each of us has our own individual experiences, history, challenges and strengths, and these will form the basis of our work together, because the more clearly we understand the origins of your distress and the richness of your inner resources, the better placed we will be to create your own unique path to healing. My ultimate aim is for you to leave therapy having achieved meaningful and lasting change, armed with insights that will support you long after our time together has come to an end.

About Me

Research shows that the quality of relationship between client and therapist is often a good indicator for how successful therapy might be, and so I offer a free-of-charge 20-minute introductory phone or video call before you book a session with me. As well as giving you the opportunity to get a sense of me and to ask any questions you may have about me and how I work, it also gives me the opportunity to find out more, from you, about why you're seeking help. Towards the end of this call we can decide, together, how best to proceed.

I work with

  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

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 way out lies in a willingness to listen to it. What is it trying to tell us? The more fully we come to understand our own anxieties, the better equipped we are 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 treat the symptoms.
Whether you have been diagnosed with depression or not, I will be interested in your own, unique experience 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 visit my website - joannaonlinetherapy.com - and go to 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.
