Dr Joanna North

I offer Counselling, Psychotherapy and Psychological Assessment.  I have worked in the field for twenty five years. I see clients on line and in Tiverton.  I work with Adults and Families.  I am also an Adoption Support Agency registered with Ofsted as Outstanding working with Adoptive Children and Families.  I am a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and have Senior Accreditation with BACP.  I work with the most frequent mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety and panic.  I specialise in Child Behaviour and helping parents with parenting.  I have published two books on the subject.  I also specialise in attachment relationships.  I adopt a Rogerian model of counselling combined with mindulfness and compassion related models of psychotherapy.  I am qualified in using EMDR for trauma related difficulties and CBT if clients prefer this model.  I am trained in ACT Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and DBT Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Skills.  I also offer Supervision and am registered with the British Psychological Society as a Supervisor.  I undertake single session therapy and solution focused brief therapy.
