Joanne Harratt

Joanne Harratt offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore thoughts and feelings that have become overwhelming. She recognises that issues from the past or present can make everyday life more challenging and focuses on helping individuals understand why they feel or react in particular ways so awareness can support change and growth.

Her practice is client-led and tailored to each person’s individual needs. Counselling with Joanne provides dedicated time to reflect on what is happening in life and a listening space without pressure to be advised.

Joanne has 10 years of experience and works from the United Kingdom. Her formal qualifications include a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling awarded by the Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body and a Certificate of Higher Education in Psychodynamic Counselling from the University of Leicester. She has completed training in areas such as complicated grief, transactional analysis, solution-focused therapy, hearing voices, effective anger management tools for working with men, attachment theory, creative interventions, intrusive thoughts, understanding and working with survivors of sexualised trauma, lone working, suicide awareness and mental health, and couples counselling.

Her practical experience includes more than three years volunteering for a charity supporting women with complex needs, some of whom had experienced domestic violence and sexual abuse, and volunteering for a charity for male victims of rape and sexual abuse. Joanne is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds Accredited Register membership.
