Joanne Rutter

I have space for new clients & look forward to working with you in person or online/via telephone throughout the UK.  

My hours are flexible, but I prefer to offer sessions Monday  - Thursday.  Evening appointments are available on request up to 7pm.  

Empowering adults & young people to recover from past trauma & live emotionally fulfilled & rewarding lives! 

I offer in person sessions in Calderdale & online/telephone sessions throughout the UK . Person Centred/Integrative counsellor since 2011.    I am BACP Accredited.  

I am BUPA registered and work as an associate counsellor with several UK Employee Assistance Programmes including PAM Wellbeing, Health Assured, Health Hero & CIC.  I also work with young people in schools on behalf of Noah's Ark Counselling Centre, Halifax.  

I was the sole School Counsellor, Bradford Grammar School (2017-2024) .  

Previously  a Counsellor at Calderdale Women Centre with an emphasis on recovery from Domestic Abuse & Trauma.  

1992 - 2017  I worked for the Probation Service.  Latterly I was a Probation Service Officer/Victim Services Officer/Women's Safety Worker  working with victims/survivors of violent and sexual offences. 

Based  in a tranquil & rural setting (with plans to offer outdoor walking/talking therapy in the future). 

References & client feedback are available on request.  

My approach is integrative meaning I draw upon several different theories. It is fundamentally Person Centred (led by you) but underpinned by an understanding of Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)  & Psychodynamic theories which I can introduce where relevant & with your permission. 

My practice is based on my belief in the self-actualisation process and in our ability to reach our full potential in life, despite what may have happened to us in the past. 

I am open to working with any presenting problems or issues but my passion is in supporting and empowering  adults and young people to triumph over adversity & become the best that they can be.  

I have a particular interest in helping women who may be feeling stuck in an unhealthy relationship or empowering them to move on after divorce or separation.  Including recovery from trauma, coercive control or abuse of any kind (including emotional, psychological, physical, sexual, financial or narcissistic abuse). 

Your counselling can be short or long term.  I offer sessions for as long as "you" feel you need them. 

The first is an initial assessment.  This allows us to explore your presenting problems or difficulties & any relevant background issues.  We would use this session to explore what you want to achieve from your therapy and to set appropriate goals.  

Future sessions would be led by you, covering the issues you feel are most important.  We will regularly review your progress together every six sessions, & decide how many future sessions you may want/need and what you want to use them for.  

I offer a free 15 minute online or telephone consultation before booking an initial assessment.   This will enable us to decide together whether I am the right  counsellor to work with you.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch  and we can arrange to have a no obligation conversation.
