How I Work
Joanna can help you to feel understood and validated in your Motherhood experience. She blends traditional psychotherapeutic approaches (CBT, Psychodynamic) with elements of neuroscience and somatic psychology (how we feel emotions in the body).
Understanding how emotions from your own childhood can resurface once you have a baby and become a Mother is often a key aspect of therapy.
Additionally, Joanna can support you with the tools and techniques for creating improved wellbeing and emotional equilibrium.
Specialist Areas
Joanna can support you with the emotional challenges of early Motherhood, including maternal rage, guilt, anxiety, low mood, relationship issues and identiy shifts.
Having spent several years working in NHS specialist eating disorder services, Joanna can also support you with body image issues and eating difficulties in Motherhood.
