Joanne Breslin

Joanne Breslin’s own life journey led her into the therapy profession, and she places a high value on the work she does. Her extensive training has enriched both her personal and professional life and enables her to support people to overcome what is currently overwhelming or troubling them.

She offers Humanistic Person-centred / Integrative counselling for adults, including young adults, and for couples. Her approach is primarily person-centred, focusing on the individual so that the therapeutic tools, knowledge and techniques are tailored to each person’s unique needs and experiences.

The most common feedback Joanne receives is that clients appreciate her ordinariness and down-to-earth manner. She aims to create a relationship without a felt power dynamic so people can move through the process comfortably together.

Having her own life experience informs Joanne’s practice; she strives to be empathetic and genuine and to walk alongside clients as they explore difficult feelings. She aims to help people feel comfortable and to build a trusting relationship so talking becomes easier, with no pressure and no judgement.

Joanne recognises that getting started is often the hardest, most nerve-wracking step, and she works to make the early sessions as approachable as possible. Therapy can be challenging when past or present experiences are emotionally painful, but with support and willingness to move forward, the process can lead to greater peace and contentment. She is based in the United Kingdom and has 4 years of experience.
