More about Joanna

  • BACP

Hello and welcome to my profile here at Betterhelp.

I can appreciate how it feels to reach out to begin talking to another person about really important matters and concerns and I just want to reassure you that I am here to listen and help.

I have experience working for the NHS Mental Health Services and in 2009 I decided that I wanted to work in a therapeutic way that embraced the new ideas and concepts of working with others experiencing life situations which have effected areas of their own mental health.

As an Integral Therapist I am able to use different therapeutic tools and approaches to find the client a more "tailored fit" form of therapy. I am genuinely interested in the issues that people bring to the therapy room and I do realise that it is a privilege to be able to share in a persons inner world. It is a courageous decision to come to therapy and I am mindful of this when in session with a client.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Over the last two years I have started to use online technology available to continue to provide my clients with a more inclusive method of therapy. I have found this delivery new and really worthwhile for my clients and I am now confident in email, telephone and video counselling and have worked on various platforms to provide both short and long term counselling in an effective manner.

I do hope you feel able to reach out and make contact so we can work together to explore any thoughts or concerns you may be having. I look forward to hearing from you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
