A Bit About Me
My name is Joanne, and I am a qualified Person-Centred counselling professional and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I’m passionate about talking therapy and deeply understand the power of being truly heard by another. Through being open and approachable, my aim is to form warm, supportive relationships with my clients in a private and confidential setting.
I offer face-to-face sessions in Faringdon and Shrivenham in Oxfordshire, and at Highworth Holistic Health in Wiltshire along with online sessions.
In addition to my core training, I also hold a CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People. This additional qualification supports my work with younger clients (age 11+) and deepens my understanding of child and adolescent development. While I work with adults and young people alike, this advanced training strengthens my ability to offer age-appropriate support when needed.
A Personal Journey
The Person Centred Approach
Person-Centred counselling is based on empathy, a skill that allows me to view your world from your perspective. I aim to genuinely understand how you’re thinking and feeling by listening closely and walking alongside you. Together, we’ll explore the possibilities or the barriers that may be holding you back. I travel every step of the way with you to help you make sense of your experience.
Your Session
There is no judgement in the room, no matter what you bring to the session. We’ll work to build a trusting relationship where you feel safe, supported, and free to speak openly. I’ll help you explore the issues, feelings, beliefs, or behaviours that may be affecting your wellbeing or preventing positive change. The space is yours, you lead the way, at your own pace.
Services
Face to Face Session
Online Session
Telephone Session
Meeting for a face to face session would be arranged between us, at a time and place suitable for you. We would have a 50 minute session together.
Once you book a session, I will send some information and a questionnaire to fill out about yourself, a few personal details asking a some questions about what you feel you are coming to therapy for, and most importantly what you hope to get out of therapy. If you're not sure, that’s perfectly okay.
£55.00 per session
Zoom is a way for us to see each other face-to-face from your computer whilst engaging in therapy. You will be guided through setting up your own encrypted Zoom account and we will meet on Zoom at a time that we have previously arranged. Sessions are 50 minutes in length. Being able to see each other gives you more of the benefits you get from face-to face counselling but with the convenience of online therapy. Online counselling therapy take place within a secure, encrypted environment to offer you confidentiality and safety.
£55.00 per session
Your telephone counselling session can happen through the Zoom system, or via a handset, but without the visual aspects. You can choose to remain anonymous and the conversation is encrypted if held on Zoom. An advantage of telephone counselling is that non-verbal communication can be carried in your tone of voice or the pace of speech which can be picked up.
You will need a private room where you will not be overheard.
