Welcome, and thank you for visiting.
I am Joanne, 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 can present you with challenges, overwhelming events and periods where you may lose your sense of direction or purpose, this can leave you feeling stressed and anxious. We all experience these times of difficulty. Engaging with a trained professional can help you to navigate those difficult times, leading you to a greater self-understanding and insight into your emotions and patterns, being able to understand and find your inner resources will enable you to reach your desired goals and outcomes, resolve issues and empower you to have greater control over your life.
As an accredited counsellor and member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society I am committed to ethically supporting individuals through their personal journeys.
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.
Building a strong therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is crucial and enhances your journey towards healing and growth, my priority during each session with you 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, whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, addiction, loss or depression, whatever you are experiencing we will always move at your pace and direction, I am here to support you on your journey.

Counselling takes place in a safe space, where you can engage with a person who listens with warmth, sensitivity and empathy, free from judgement. within the therapeutic space one can freely and confidentially express thoughts and feelings.
