Joanne's personal experience with chronic pain gives her a deep understanding and empathy for her clients, allowing her to provide a level of care that goes above and beyond traditional counselling services.

​

During sessions, clients can expect to be treated with compassion, respect, and understanding. Joanne approaches each client as she would want to be treated herself, ensuring that they feel heard, validated and supported throughout the therapy process. Her first hand experience with chronic pain gives her a unique perspective that enables her to resonate deeply with her clients and offer them the support they need.

One of the standout features of Joanne's counselling services is the continuous support that clients receive both during and between sessions. After each 60-minute session, clients receive a detailed email summary tailored to their specific needs. This personalised follow-up helps clients reflect on the session, reinforce key insights, and stay focused on their therapeutic goals. It also demonstrates Joanne's commitment to providing comprehensive care and ongoing support to her clients.

 

By validating her clients in every aspect, she creates a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. This validation is particularly important for individuals dealing with chronic pain and chronic UTIs, as it acknowledges the unique challenges they face and helps them feel understood and supported.

Joanne's dedication to her clients, combined with her personal experience and tailored approach, sets her counselling services apart and makes her a valuable resource for individuals seeking support for chronic pain and other health-related issues.
