Joanna Card

I currently have availability in the evenings, or for early sessions before the working day, online or by phone Monday - Friday. 

My name is Jo, and I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor.

I wonder if you need a space to gently explore some difficult, confusing or overwhelming feelings, or are interested in improving your overall sense of wellbeing. I am a warm, genuine, and empathetic counsellor. I work with a focus on self-care and compassion, around the things that are important to you, allowing you space to process, reflect and gain some clarity and control, slow things down, and take a breath.

I offer thoughtful, collaborative, tailored support to those experiencing difficulties with, anxiety, lack of self-confidence, depression, loss, trauma, IVF, infertility and adoption, as well as a variety of other emotional and mental health difficulties. I also support individuals who have been impacted by challenging relationship dynamics, including experiences that may have left them feeling diminished, unsafe, or uncertain about themselves.

I have worked in the social care sector for over 25 years, having the privilege of working with many individuals across different fields and services.

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, and I am a fully qualified and registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and existential approaches. 

Together we’ll consider your goals, be guided by your needs, and review our work together to make sure you feel we are moving in the right direction for you, as well as at a pace that’s right for you.

I offer a free 15-minute initial call where we can talk through what might have brought you to counselling, and explore whether I am the right counsellor for you.
