This is your space to offload emotional burdens
Hi, I'm Joanna.
Welcome to Balance Counselling Therapy.​
​
Over the last 40 years, I've fulfilled many roles, from Mum, wife, mature student, hospital worker, travel enthusiast, volunteer and many other roles alongside Counsellor. I greatly understand human nature as these experiences have given me the tools to navigate and sail through the waves of life.
I use a person-centred approach to counselling therefore don't offer direct advice as I believe that you, the client, are the expert in your own life. I am here to create a supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement.​​
I am a member of BACP and I follow their ethical framework to ensure your health and safety are always my priority.​
WHAT I HELP WITH
I support both teenagers and adults on their healing journey.
Anxiety & Depression
Helping you identify the causes of your anxiety/depression and develop strategies to manage your symptoms and triggers. I can help you overcome this and regain control of your life.​
Adolescent Therapy
A safe and supportive space for teenagers (as well as their parents) to explore their thoughts and feelings. I help develop healthy coping mechanisms, regulate behaviour, and improve emotional well-being.
Neurodivergent
Through my own experience with my son, I have a large amount of experience supporting Neurodivergent people, specialising in working with those who have ADHD, Autism, Asperger and Sensory Processing Disorder.
Bereavement
Providing compassionate support for those experiencing loss, specifically the loss of children and miscarriages. This is your space to navigate grief and find acceptance. I guide you towards healing and resilience by developing coping strategies for the future.
