Mrs Joanne Spotswood Counsellor (Registrar)

Hello, my name is Joanne, I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist and Equine Assisted Mental Health Practitioner. I also have a background in education and work with adolescents and adults who are seeking a nature centred, holistic approach to therapy. I believe that relationships form the basis of our physical and emotional health and well-being. Therefore a relational approach is at the heart of my therapeutic work, as I believe healing happens in relationship. I have an embodied approach which honours the intelligence of our bodies, and our minds, as well as our nervous systems. I aim to provide a safe space in which clients can explore physical and emotional aspects of who they are and who they wish to be. I have a trauma informed approach which is a tailored to the needs of each individual, including awareness of the impact of trauma and life experiences on both the physical and emotional aspects of self.
