Joanne Drury
Chartered Counselling Psychologist

Who can benefit from therapy?

Anyone who would like to improve their emotional and psychological well-being, including;

• individual adults, adolescents, children or older people;
 • couples, families and groups.

As a counselling psychologist I work therapeutically with clients with a variety of problems, difficulties and life issues. These may include: relationship breakdown; postnatal depression; anger; stress; bereavement and loss; the effects of childhood abuse; domestic violence; trauma and/or symptoms of psychological disorder such as anxiety and depression, eating disorders, or post-traumatic stress disorder. I offer an active collaborative relationship that can both facilitate the exploration of underlying issues and can empower people to confront change.

Furthermore I provide coaching for those who wish to enhance their work performance and career opportunities.

I also offer supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors, psychotherapists and counselling psychologists.

Qualification

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). I abide by their code of conduct, ethical requirements and professional practice.

Therapeutic approaches

As a counselling psychologist I am trained to use several therapeutic approaches including psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and client centred approaches. I select the method that best fits your particular needs.


What happens?

Initially we would meet for a free consultation so that I could find out why you would like to attend. I would then let you know what I can offer and you can decide if it feels right for you. Each session lasts for 50 minutes and is confidential. The number of sessions varies according to you and your needs, and will be decided upon together. Sessions are typically weekly but can be timed to suit your circumstances.
