Counselling and Psychotherapy

In 2011, I decided to have a career change and completed a 3 year long qualification in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. Since then I have trained in a range of techniques and models of therapy such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Person Centred Counselling, Addiction Therapy, and Couples Counselling and more. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, families, the elderly and disabled. I have specialist training and experience in the treatment of people with issues of difference and diversity including cultural, faith and ethnicity related problems. I am also a certified Clinical Trauma-Professional (CCTP) and ADHD Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS). I originally became a Therapist due to going through some difficult times myself and I firmly believe that this lived experience enables me to better understand and empathise with clients. I will provide a space for you to give words to your thoughts and feelings, work on your character, and guide you to seek out a new version of yourself. Within therapy you can develop your autonomy and authenticity, and raise your self-esteem whilst remaining true to your core values.

Hi, I’m Linda. Welcome and thank you for looking at my profile. I provide a warm, down-to-earth and friendly approach in my work with people.

I like to work in an integrative way and draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor my work to each individuals needs.

My name is Joanne and I have called my counselling service, ‘The front of the queue,’ because I believe we are all entitled to be at the front of the queue when it comes to having our needs met.

You have just made the first important step for change in your life. You are about to ask for help. Perhaps you are feeling low, anxious or even just stressed. Such powerful feelings can make us feel stuck and prevent us from getting on with our lives.
