Joanna Ogram - Person centred counsellor

I am a person-centred counsellor offering a safe space for you to explore your individual self, at a pace that feels right for you. I work holistically and am warm, compassionate, curious, creative, enquiring and non judgmental. I hope for my clients to feel accepted, honoured and safe within our co-created therapeutic relationship, allowing exploration and expression to gain a deeper understanding of self to help you with struggles you may be experiencing, supporting ebbs and flows and encouraging changes you may desire. Each therapeutic relationship is unique and I bring myself with an openness for you to have your therapy needs met.

Person Centred Approach - Client agency met with unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence.

Parts work - Working with the different aspects of self within the whole.

Focusing - Connecting and listening to our felt sense.

Integrated Practise - Breath work
