About me
Email - joyjordan23@hotmail.com or call 07872 554707 - I'm able to offer face to face sessions or telephone sessions.
Hi, my name is Joy. Let me introduce myself and my background as a counsellor.
I am a fully qualified and experienced Person-Centred Counsellor, offering one to one sessions in a comfortable, confidential and safe, therapeutic environment, both face to face and telephone counselling (please do contact me if you have questions about how this will work).
As a counsellor, I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including, anxiety, PTSD, bereavement, self-harm, illness, sexuality, depression, low self-esteem, domestic violence, emotional and sexual abuse, addiction and many other life events.
My aim is to put you at ease as I have a relaxing and warm approach to therapy and understand how difficult it can be to visit therapy for the first time. I approach therapy in a caring and understanding way, whilst working in a professional and informal way.
I create a comfortable and confidential setting where you can feel free to address the difficulties and struggles you may be facing. I see life as a journey of exploring who you really are, in fact being the best version of yourself, and sometimes we all need a need a little help along the way. Sometimes we put an imaginary wall up, we block our feelings and lose trust in others. We want to feel safe again, to open up and trust without judgement or criticism. In fact we want to share our inner pain but feel unable to let anyone in. I hope to break down those walls with you, as I myself have closed off at times, from who I really am.
What happens in a counselling session?
We can explore those issues that may be causing you stress, and where you have lost your sense of direction or purpose, and how best to move forward with your life.
Face to face counselling appointments are 60 minutes. These hourly appointments maybe 1 hour every week over a 6 week period, or over a longer-term, based on your needs.
The rooms in St Helens and Warrington are welcoming and wheelchair accessible.
I listen in an empathic and understanding way, encouraging you to reconnect and find your own inner resources. I will work with you to make sense of your feelings, thoughts and behavior, and support you as you realise your full potential. It could be that you don’t exactly know what’s troubling you, you just know you feel down and can’t move forward. With the right counsellor, therapy allows you to feel safe in the knowledge that you are being listened to. You can explore your own thoughts, feelings and emotions, and it can help you to put things in perspective, and make positive changes to your life.
What happens next?
I know taking that first step can be difficult, and clients have expressed feelings of self-doubt about making that first contact and said they felt nervous and confused. Please be assured that I will make every effort to ensure you feel at ease on that first contact and throughout the sessions, ensuring they all run smoothly.
If you'd like to work with me, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Confidentiality is very important to me, and I would like to reassure you that your name and contact details are kept totally private.

Experience
I have worked with individuals at Harmony counselling in St Helens, where clients have come with a wide range of issues. I have witnessed positive changes in my clients, where they have previously experienced feelings of low self-esteem, hopelessness, lack of confidence and depression and have informed me, that they now feel better able to cope, and have a renewed optimism and sense of wellbeing.
My therapeutic approach
The modality I focus on primarily is person centred therapy.
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.
