Janina Joffe

During the COVID-19 outbreak, I will be speaking to most clients via video chat or telephone.

In person appointments are available subject to risk assessment and need.

I am a qualified, BACP registered psychodynamic therapist working in Shoreditch. My office is conveniently accessible for anyone located in The City, Hackney, De Beauvoir, Spitalfields and Old Street.

I completed my training at Birkbeck (University of London) where I obtained an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Prior to that I studied at the British Psychotherapy Foundation and Oxford University where I received a BA (Hons)/MA.

I have experience working with a wide range of presenting issues and client groups in private practice, the NHS, the charitable sector as well as student counselling in higher education.

If you are looking for help addressing emotional and mental health concerns, we can discuss your needs in our initial meeting and decide if talk therapy is the most effective approach.

Some common areas we can work on include:

anxiety, low mood/depression, bereavement, work related stresses, difficulties with relationships and intimacy, compulsive behaviours, eating disorders, traumatic experiences etc.

I offer one or two introductory appointments to determine whether we might be suited to working together.

In our first meeting we will go over your personal history, discuss the presenting issues and identify your intentions.

We will also discuss your ongoing availability, fees and the timescale of work you feel comfortable with.

There is no obligation to commit to therapy in our first meeting.
