Stories of hope
Joanne truly saved my life. I have suffered tremendously with the grief of losing my parent to a terminal illness. The sadness once ruled my life. Being able to talk openly about his passing and illness has allowed me to look back with happy memories. I am living and smiling again, for which, I am forever grateful.

Joanne is extremely empathetic and truly understands the devastating impact of chronic pain and other traumatic life events. Joanne has provided a safe space to help me to come to terms with my diagnosis and armed me with working strategies and solutions so that I feel strong enough to get through challenging times, as well as making me feel understood and validated. Aside from this Joanne has a kind and compassionate approach that truly sets her apart. Thank you Joanne.

Joanne is such an amazing and caring person. I love the way she listens to everything I say and emanates a grounding, safe and reassuring energy. Nothing is too unimportant in her eyes if it makes me feel better to talk about it and get everything off my chest. If angels exist, Joanne is one of them!

There are not enough words in the dictionary to express my gratitude to Joanne for her invaluable support throughout my cUTI journey. She is unlike any other therapist I have had before. She cares so deeply for her clients, which is so apparent in her sessions and tailored summaries and will go above and beyond for them. I was hesitant in trying therapy again after a bad experience with another therapist, where I spent two sessions just explaining the disease and was then given useless unsolicited medical advice (such as drinking more water/cranberry juice). By the time I discovered Joanne, I was in a very dark place with a deep depression and suicidal thoughts. After six sessions I have a completely different state of mind and full faith that I will recover from this miserable disease. Recovery is certainly not a linear path but with her invaluable insights and strategies, I firmly believe that there should be more specialised therapists like her available to cUTI patients. Could not recommend her enough to anyone who is fed up with suffering in silence!

Had my first appointment with Joanne and I came away feeling hopeful for the first time since this horrid condition took over my life.
It’s so good to talk to someone who totally understands and who doesn’t suggest take a pain killer and cranberry juice! I felt totally comfortable telling her anything and she offered the best advice and a listening ear that I’ve had from anyone so far!
I’ll will be continuing my journey with Joanne’s help. I 100% recommend her service if any of you are out there feeling very overwhelmed with this and trying to deal with it alone. She’s an absolute Earth Angel.

​Joanne was there for me just when I needed her kindness and understanding. I had been struggling with continuous pain and poor sleep for months. I live alone and was beginning to feel socially isolated and overly preoccupied with my diagnosis. It was a huge relief for me to be able to talk freely with Joanne. I felt heard, supported and most importantly for me, I felt understood. In just a few sessions I started to feel less fearful and more confident that I can cope. Thank you Joanne!
