Charlotte Johannes

I have availability on Mondays and Fridays. I will have more availability, on other days in the near future.

Welcome, I look forward to working together to uncover what makes you, you. 

I work psychodynamically, paying particular attention to patterns and intergenerational influence from early life and childhood. 

I work collaboratively, believing firmly in the client's autonomy and expertise of their own life.

I provide a unique perspective and draw attention to unconscious responses and processes that might have served a particular purpose but that have evolved into barriers for connection and fulfilment. 

I provide safe containment to fully explore formative pain, shame and trauma with empathy and insight. 

I will provide a safe and holding, confidential space to witness and actively listen to what has brought you to therapy. 

I will use playful, creative alternatives to 'well trodden' perspectives and directions that have become patterns within your life. 

I will make links and connections and challenge some of the narratives that have developed in your story, communicating alternative views or emotional responses.

Play, creativity and humour are elements that have arisen from my therapeutic relationships and help to build trusting and meaningful therapeutic connections.

I provide a free initial online or telephone consultation that can help to determine if we are going to proceed working together.  I will send an online assessment form, which will be completed before our first session together. This assessment asks some background questions about family and reasons for coming to therapy.
