About Me
Joanne Janvier
My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experiences of navigating mental health challenges. In seeking to understand myself, I discovered a deep interest in personal development and, along the way, a genuine desire to help others. Because of this, I can truly relate to the courage it takes to reach out for support and begin the therapy journey.
When someone comes to me for help, I want to do everything I can to ensure they feel supported, understood, and able to reach their therapy goals. I offer an integrative approach, which means I draw on a wide range of methods and tools to tailor therapy to your unique needs. This allows me to support clients with many different challenges, while staying focused on what works best for you.
I am particularly drawn to supporting clients working through anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties, including couples who want to strengthen communication and connection.
At the heart of my work is creating a safe, open, and compassionate space where you can explore who you are without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll work side by side to move toward the changes you want for your life.
Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy spending time with my three dogs and making memories with friends and family - both of which keep me grounded and balanced.
Professional Background
I began my professional journey in 2008, completing training in Integrative Therapy, Hypnotherapy, and NLP. Since then, I have been committed to continuous professional development, expanding both my knowledge and practice.
I went on to complete a degree in Biomedical Sciences, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding the connection between mind and body. Over the years, I have also trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Couples Counselling, and EMDR, alongside lots of CPD enabling me to continue to support clients through a wide range of challenges.
In addition to my therapeutic work, I am a qualified Supervisor, offering guidance and support to other practitioners in their professional growth.
My approach is integrative, and tailored to each individual, but also drawing on a broad range of skills and experience to provide the best possible care.
