About me
Hi, I'm Joanna, therapist and counsellor.
You may be seeking therapy for many different reasons, perhaps you are feeling low or anxious or struggling with confidence and self-esteem.
You might be finding relationships are difficult at the moment.
Perhaps something in particular has happened to you that you need to talk about.
Or maybe you’ve experienced a loss.
You may feel quite alone in your thoughts and need another person to understand how you’re feeling and help you to make sense of things
Whatever brings you to therapy, I offer a gentle and trusting space, where you can feel safe to talk about what it is that brought you to therapy and help you to make the changes you wish.
I am a highly trained and qualified BACP registered counsellor and therapist experienced in working for counselling services across London and in Private Practice.
I believe that we each have the resources within us to flourish and thrive, but sometimes these resources can get blocked or affected by our experiences, impacting how we feel about ourselves.
My aim is to provide a space where together, we can empower you to work out what you need to live your life the way you want to, uncovering any blocks and freeing up your own inner resources, supporting you to live a more fulfilling life.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
