Supervision is a core element of our counselling practice and a requirement of our professional bodies.

Clinical supervision is a collaborative process between the supervisor and supervisee and provides an opportunity to explore personal and professional issues in a safe and enabling environment.  It acts as a safeguard for our clients to ensure that we are providing the best possible service to them. 

I am trained with the Counselling Tutor and have now successfully complete all the academic requirements.

A further requirement of the course is to complete a specified number of hours of supervision.  I am therefore offering new supervisees a free session.  Once qualified I will be offering one hour of supervision at a cost of £55.

As a requirement of being a Supervisor I will be having supervision of the supervision that I am providing to ensure I am supporting you in the best possible way.

If you would like a free initial supervision session then please contact me via the contact form or give me a ring on 07877072741

How I Work

Whilst I always maintain a high standard of professionalism, I do endeavour to create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere within my online counselling sessions. 

From my own experiences of counselling, I understand and appreciate that it is important that you or you and your partner feel at ease with me to be able to talk about the “difficult stuff”.

For those that find it difficult to talk openly (and I understand it is not easy to share your most personal and private details with a stranger), I adopt a range of therapeutic interventions and creative techniques to support you in expressing your thoughts and needs.

What My Clients Say

During my many years working as a counsellor, in both private practice and with Relate, I’ve had the privilege of working with many individuals, couples and families whom I’ve been able to help and support to affect some very positive changes to their relationships. Read on for their experience of working with me.

Joanne, really helped Ben and I explore what was happening in our relationship, we often went away from our sessions reflecting on various aspects of our relationship that we had not really considered before.  

Joanne was really helpful in supporting us to view our relationship in a more postive way and supported us through the change process.

I am not sure that we would have survived without her.

We are very grateful for her support.

I really do not think our relationship would have survived if we had not have sought counselling, Joanne enabled us to talk to each other something we had struggled with when it came to discussing intimacy.  We both felt very comfortable and safe in Joanne's presence and I think it was this that enabled us to be honest and open.  Thank you Joanne

Pat and Steve

Thank you for the help that you have given us, you helped open our eyes as to what was happening in our relationship and the impact the past was having on this.  We have learned to talk together openly about the past and this has helped us going forward.  We are now looking forward to a happier future.  Thank you Joanne.

Online Counselling Services

I offer a range of online counselling services and you can find out more about these below.

I'm often asked how many counselling sessions are needed. As a therapist I am guided by you, the client, as to how long therapy should last but, to gain the best therapeutic outcomes, I would suggest we work together for six sessions initially on a weekly basis. Throughout our work together we will regularly review your progress and at the end of the six weeks, it is your decision as to how we proceed.

If you decide you would like counselling, after you get in touch with me, I will send you a copy of my Online Counselling Agreement. The Agreement outlines details about online counselling and the platform I use. It outlines information about how to maintain your safety online, data protection and payment. There is also a Client Information Sheet which asks questions that need to be completed by you and, for couples counselling and family counselling, by the others having counselling with you. Your answers to these questions will enable me to assess and advise you if therapy online is the most appropriate method of counselling for you and your family member(s).

If you aren't sure which counselling service is right for you and your situation, or if you have any questions for me, please get in touch and we can discuss the available options.

Couples Counselling

Couples counselling can be helpful at any time in a couple's relationship but especially at times when trust is broken, or arguments are becoming more frequent. It may be that communication is poor or you feel the relationship is stuck in bad patterns or emotional or physical intimacy has diminished. If you relate to any of these, having someone to listen and empathise can support your journey to a more fulfilling and healthier relationship.
