Joanne Turvey

I am a humanistic counsellor with 7+ years of experience supporting people throughout many different aspects of their lives. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ to bring to therapy- I am here to explore whatever feels right for you on any given day, whether that is overarching/ long-term feelings, or a specific set of circumstances or a life event that you feel you could do with support to manage.

Choosing to access counselling support is a big step and I am able to offer a safe, warm and confidential space to facilitate exploration and growth. I work with each of my clients as the individual you are and believe that each of your experiences leaves an impact on who you are as a person. Together we can explore the many things that come together to form you, working through any areas which may be causing you to feel low, lost, anxious or any of the wide range of emotions we can be left with as human beings.

I have worked within a variety of settings: within long term general counselling; as part of the therapeutic team at a local university and providing bereavement and loss support at a local charity, where I also supervise other volunteers.

I have experience spanning a range of areas, such as: anxiety; depression; OCD; eating disorders; self-worth; trauma; long-term health conditions; sexual abuse; relationship issues and bereavement. I also have 5 years of experience working alongside people with autism, Asperger’s and other learning difficulties.

I am a firm believer that everybody should have access to therapy. Please do feel free to reach out, whatever your circumstances, and we could explore how we may be able to move ahead around your own personal situation. I welcome any questions, to try and ensure that you find the right therapist to take this next step with.
