Joanna Critchley-Peacock

Is anxiety, stress, or mental health holding you back from the things you would like to do? Are you struggling with things that have happened in your life? Are you finding relationships with friends and family challenging? If you would like to build up your confidence, come to understand yourself better, and learn more about why you react in the ways you do, I can help you. Together we can look at what has been happening for you and why, and I can support you as you make positive changes and help you to become more fulfilled. Email me to book a free trial session. Sessions then charged at £40 each. 

I have experience working with a wide range of clients with issues including low self-esteem and confidence, issues from childhood, trauma and complex PTSD, autism, problems with attachment, bereavement and loss, anxiety, feeling sad or low, depression, suicidal thoughts, and many more. However you are struggling, I will offer you the empathy, care, acceptance and understanding that I would want in a counsellor.

I offer short and long term counselling, both face-to-face and online, from a purpose-built office in Weston-Super-Mare. I am a qualified, professional, insured counsellor and a Registered BACP Member. I work in an integrative way, which means I draw upon a range of approaches and techniques to tailor the way I work with each individual; including techniques from person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma-informed therapy, transactional analysis and mindfulness.

I understand how scary it can feel to take that first step and find a counsellor who you feel safe and comfortable opening up to. If you feel that you can trust your counsellor, then progress and transformation will take place naturally as you explore together. That is why I offer a free trial first session, so you can see whether I am the right counsellor for you. This is your journey, and I would love to help you.
