My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe supportive space, listening to your concerns, and developing mutually agreed upon goals which meet your individualized needs.
My client commitment is to guide you on your healing journey and help you to connect to who you really are. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
Depression, fear and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Using a combination of psychotherapy and energy/spiritual healing, I can assist you to heal and re-connect with who you really are, your sense of purpose and meaning in your life and experience joy, passion, excitement and vitality again.
Many individuals can experience symptoms and trauma reactions associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger following traumatic events. Eye Movement Desentization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Somatic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has been proven to be the most effective approaches to address trauma/abuse as well as a variety of other issues. Using EMDR, Somatic Therapy and CBT and other therapeutic approaches, I can help you overcome these common trauma reactions and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Relationship counselling can be beneficial to individuals who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, improve communication and conflict resolution, improve emotional closeness and sexual intimacy issues in all stages of their relationship. It can also be very helpful when individuals are at a crossroads and considering separation if their relationship struggles do not improve.
Knowing Joanne for so many years, I can genuinely say that she is truly dedicated to provide the best quality service to her clients. She is a compassionate and empathetic person with so much experience and understands how important it is for her clients to get help when needed.
