## About Joanne

Hello, I’m Joanne, a qualified relationship counsellor with over nine years’ experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and have worked with people in supportive roles for more than 20 years.

My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth. I believe every couple can gain greater understanding of their relationship with the right support. Whether you are struggling through a difficult time, feel disconnected, or want to part ways with care and respect, I will support you both through the process.

During our sessions, I create a non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, explore what is not working, and recognise the strengths you bring as a couple. My aim is to help you move forward with more confidence, clarity, and connection.

## Background & Experience

Before qualifying as a therapist, I worked in the emergency services for over 20 years. This gave me valuable experience of trauma, stress, cultural differences, and the resilience people develop under pressure.

I have also worked in a charitable organisation and a local hospice, supporting people facing bereavement, mental health difficulties, addiction, and other complex emotional challenges. These roles gave me experience helping couples and individuals through some of the most difficult moments in life.

I am an Ambassador for the Foundation of Infant Loss, having completed their Rainbow Baby specialist training. I am listed on their accredited practitioner register and continue to support families through grief, pregnancy loss, and healing.

## How I Can Help

I'll help you navigate difficult conversations with greater ease, fostering open communication and reducing recurring conflicts.

We will work together to explore the underlying patterns in your relationship, replacing reactivity with understanding and empathy.

I'll guide you in rebuilding emotional intimacy and connection, helping you both feel truly seen, heard, and deeply valued.

I iwll help you identify and build upon your relationship's inherent strengths, cultivating a more resilient and fulfilling partnership.

I'll support you in processing past experiences, including trauma, and understanding their subtle influence on your current relationship dynamics.

We'll discover new ways to strengthen your bond, whether you're seeking pre-marital clarity, navigating challenges, or considering separation with support.
