Dr Joanna Harvey, DPsych, MSc, MBPsS
Email meAbout me
I am a counselling psychologist registered with both the HCPC (Health & Care Professionals Council) and the BPS (British Psychological Society). I take an integrative approach to my practice, drawing on my experience of both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic models. Through a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship, I aim to help clients to create more balanced and fulfilling lives, whilst working through their dilemmas and difficulties.
Based in central London, I offer both longer term therapy, as well as short term solution focused therapy, dependent on each individual's needs. My previous experience includes private, NHS and third sector organisations and I can offer support in a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, work-related burn out, relationship difficulties, personality and eating disorders. In addition to private practice, I have spent the last 5 years working in specialist NHS eating disorder services, which is an area of ongoing interest and expertise for me.
To begin with, I offer an initial telephone consultation free of charge. This allows us to identify your hopes and aims of therapy and whether we will be able to work together in order to meet your needs.
