Jo-anne Tolley

It can be hard to seek support when life has placed obstacles in your way. To ease this, I can offer you the choice of either in-house, telephone or walking counselling. Walking counselling is enhanced by being outside amongst nature either along the coast or in woodland.  I am an Integrative Counsellor using a strength-based Person Centred Approach as a foundation. Every session will be uniquely tailored to you.

My personal experiences have enhanced my empathetic, non-judgemental nature and my ability to relate and empower others as I have navigated and overcome many obstacles myself. This is why I would like to offer confidential support to others.

Alongside private counselling, I counsel  people at an organisation supporting people who are at risk of / experiencing homelessness or substance/alcohol misuse. This offer is extended to those who are living with or affected by others who are experiencing substance / alcohol misuse and homelessness. I also facilitate an addiction group.

I have 3 years experience of working with families and children. Providing a range of support tailored to each families challenges. I have also taken part in vast additional training through Lincolnshire County Council and other training providers. Please see my training list. 

Previous to this, I was counselling within a GP practice, supporting clients who have experienced Inner Conflict, Stress, Trauma, Abuse, Psychosis, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Grief, Loss, Relationship Breakdown, Employment Difficulties, Diagnosis / Health Concerns for themselves or others and people who are feeling Overwhelmed or Burnt-out as a result of an accumulation of things impacting upon their life.

Please take a look at my qualifications and training information. By continuously updating my training I am able to offer best practice and remain contemporary.
