Joanne Crystal

Hello! Thank you for visiting my page. I work with children, teenagers and adults for long and short term work (usually meeting once a week for an hour). I am trained in CBT, Person Centred, Psycho-dynamic, Jungian and Existential methods.

I will work carefully to discover and get alongside you. I will use my training sensitively to understand you and help you:

1) overcome struggles you are facing,

2) move beyond mental distress, depression and anxiety,

3) make sense of your feelings and experiences,

4) gain control over your life,

5) build strategies going forward.

I have experience working with a wide range of presenting issues with clients. Depression and anxiety are the most common mental health issues in the U.K. Please see the list below of presenting issues I have previously worked with. (Please note that this is not an exhaustive list).

With younger people often self esteem/self identity and family dynamics can underlie many other presenting issues (stress, depression, eating disorders, risky behaviour etc).

I can empower you to begin moving forward with more awareness, less distress ... and hope.

Online therapy is proven to work and can be very convenient for busy people.  I work on video conferencing platforms (Zoom and Whatsapp) or via telephone.

I will try to accommodate any planning needs of the client. If you would be happier writing your feelings down than talking, I can also offer email therapy.

Please email or call me to book a session, or simply to discuss things further. I will reply as soon as possible, and call you back if I am unable to take your call.
