Joanna Walsh

Joanna Walsh is a qualified counsellor and therapeutic art coach who holds an MSc in Psychology and has three years of clinical experience. Based in the United Kingdom, she works with people carrying the effects of trauma and abuse, including C-PTSD and PTSD, as well as those coping with depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, and the life changes that can accompany parenting, career shifts, or long-term illness.

She also supports people navigating grief and loss, and those exploring an ADHD, Autism/ASC/ASD or giftedness diagnosis - whether newly diagnosed or still making sense of what it means for identity and daily life. Joanna pays attention to the experience of disconnection - from oneself, from others, or from the wider world - and to the ways protective strategies developed over time can both help and hold people back.

Joanna blends warm, empathic talking therapy with creative, art-based techniques to help people express emotions when words are hard to find. Her approach is personalised and collaborative - gently uncovering patterns, exploring difficult feelings, and practising new responses that feel more healing and empowering. She brings both professional training and lived experience to her work, offering an inclusive space where clients can be seen and heard.

Whether someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, Joanna aims to walk alongside them at their own pace. She identifies as a female, older, non-religious, liberal therapist and offers coaching alongside therapeutic support to help clients move toward greater clarity and wellbeing.
