About me and my therapy practice

Hello I'm Joanne, offering Couple Counselling/Therapy in Queens Park or West Hampstead, NW6

Are you experiencing relationship difficulties and feel you are at a point where some professional help is needed? Do you need a space to work through something that cannot easily be shared or resolved with your partner? 

I will work with you both in an empathic and warm way using the Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples approach. The focus will be on the interaction between you, what is happening and what is or isn't being said, felt, understood. My role is to help  you to share your feelings and thoughts with each other in a safe way to build more connection, openness and good feeling in the relationship. However, we start with where you are and what's going on.

Habitual ways of dealing with emotions and engaging with each other may be creating distress. Changing the negative cycle involves having new experiences in the relationship, especially being able to speak and hear your partner and their vulnerability in a context of safety which I aim to facilitate.


Practice description

I offer clients a 50mins appointment on the same day/time each week. We meet in person at The Minster Centre, Lonsdale Rd, Queens Park NW6 or in Iverson Rd, West Hampstead, NW6 or online.

We can agree a number of sessions or leave the work open ended.

Normally the first two sessions are with you as a couple, then you will have will an individual session so I can get to know you as a individual.  After the individual sessions we return to sessions with you as a couple. There may be more individual sessions if needed.

After the initial appointment and if we have decide to work together I will give you my Therapy Guidance Notes with clear information about privacy, holidays/breaks, holding/cancellation fees. 

I record sessions for supervision and training purposes so if you agree to this I will send you a consent form to sign.

My first session

In a first session I will explain a little about the therapy process, ask some questions to help me get a picture of who you are: ie. work, family & living situation, any previous therapy experience. 

I will invite you both to say what brings you to therapy for help and what you would like to achieve, what you feel your strengths are as a couple and what needs strengthening.

I will give each partner a chance to speak and I may ask each of you to respond to what you hear your partner say.

We can decide at the end of this session whether to continue or you may go away and have some time to think about it.
