About me
At Joanne Dixon Therapy, I work with adults and young people to help facilitate life improvement. As a neurodivergent counsellor, I use a person-centred approach alongside integrative and adapted therapy techniques.
We are all unique individuals, so whether you need help with anxiety, depression, ASD, ADHD, grief, or other issues, I provide tailored counselling and coaching to help create a better environment for you. I offer customised short-term and flexible long-term therapy programs to meet each client's evolving needs, using a variety of therapies and coaching strategies.
My child therapy sessions provide a supportive and understanding environment for children to express themselves and work through their emotions using creative methods adapted to each individual.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a First Bachelor of Arts in Integrative Counselling with a person-centred approach, and I am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. With over 25 years of experience in mental health, social care, and education.
I have worked with children and young people aged 7 to 18 in educational settings and have recently completed SEND educational training at level 7. I have provided counselling in GP Surgeries to address various mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and grief.
As a former foster parent, I have extensive experience in working therapeutically with trauma, attachment, and compassion fatigue.
Additionally, I have considerable experience working with individuals who identify as neurodivergent. This allows me to tailor my therapy to each client's unique needs in a neuro-affirmative focused approach. I employ and adapt a variety of therapies, including person-centred listening, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Creative/play therapy, Coaching, and Practical support, to meet the needs of each client.
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.
