Joanne Copley

My private practice is in Beeston and easily accessible by car, bus and tram. I can offer you a warm and safe space in which to explore your problems and emotional difficulties, without judgment and at your own pace.

I have experience of working with a wide range of mental health problems and with clients of all ages. As an integrative counsellor I work primarily as a person centred counsellor, allowing you to direct the sessions, whilst bringing in other approaches to suit your needs.

I practice Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which has been proven to help with behavioural change and addictions as well as helping with self-esteem and confidence, anxiety and depression. I have a special interest in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which I researched for my Master’s degree.

I believe that developing compassion for ourselves and letting go of our self critical voice can really help with our emotional and mental wellbeing. Therapy can help with this and we can look at different ways of bringing peace and calm into our lives. Mindfulness is one of developing our self-awareness, to be in touch with our thoughts and feelings in the present moment, enabling us to feel good about our lives and ourselves.
