Joanna Head

Normally based in Eastbourne, I'm currently offering online therapy which I and my clients are finding as effective as - and in some cases more comfortable than - face to face counselling and EMDR. I would be happy to arrange an introductory session for you to see how it feels to work remotely.

WHAT I OFFER

I'm an experienced counsellor and EMDR therapist.  We all experience emotional difficulties or distress during our lives: stress, anxiety, depression, loss, feeling worthless, empty, uncertain or overwhelmed, particularly in these uncertain times. Sometimes these difficulties can be hard to deal with alone or with the help of friends or family.  

COUNSELLING AND EMDR

Counselling with me is not about giving advice or me listening to you in silence. It is about working actively together to enable you to explore your thoughts and feelings and gain valuable new perspectives about yourself and your situation. It is about helping you to resolve your difficulties yourself, find new ways of coping or give you a greater sense of control and choice in your life.

Everyone is different and your needs will be unique so I draw on a range of approaches particularly EMDR. In the first consultation we will explore what brings you to therapy and decide if it feels right for you - the 'feel right' factor is important. I am a registered provider with major insurance companies including Axa, Aviva and WPA. Please ask for further details.

I'm also a qualified EMDR therapist. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the NICE recommended treatments for PTSD and trauma. Research shows it is also effective with issues, such as anxiety, depression, phobias, low self-esteem and complex grief which are often linked to adult or childhood trauma.
