Welcome, and thank you for visiting.
I am Joanne, and I am a qualified and accredited counsellor offering both short- term and long-term therapy to adult individuals in Mid Sussex and the surrounding areas including Hassocks, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Hove and Worthing.
Life presents us with challenges, overwhelming events and periods where we may lose our sense of direction or purpose leaving us feeling stressed and anxious about the future. We all experience these times of difficulty. Engaging with a trained professional can help us navigate these difficult times, leading to greater self-understanding and insight into our emotions and assisting us to reach our desired goals and outcomes.
As an accredited counsellor and member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society I am committed to ethically supporting individuals through their personal journeys.
My approach
As a Counsellor I have experience working with addiction, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and loss, and many other issues, I bring to the counselling room extensive life experience however my approach is always tailored to suit your individual needs, understanding that each person is a unique human being.
In building a strong therapeutic relationship, my priority is to ensure that you feel supported safe and valued throughout your counselling experience. My approach is primarily person-centred however I am also able to use various other approaches including Psychodynamic, CBT, Gestalt, and Mindfulness, these approaches aid in addressing any current or past issues that you may wish to explore, moving at your own pace and direction, whether you aim to heal from past experiences, address trauma or to manage current challenges that you may be facing, I am here to support you on your journey.
