Counselling & Hypnotherapy in Essex & Online across the UK

Gentle, Down-to-Earth, Therapeutic Support Tailored To You

Anxiety, Stress & Overwhelm

When you're feeling anxious, stressed and overwhelmed therapy offers space to slow things down, understand what’s happening, and begin to feel calmer and steadier.

Hypnotherapy

Tap into your subconscious mind, take back control and create positive change.
Hypnotherapy for anxiety, fears and phobias, habits, confidence, birth preparation and recovery.

Perinatal & Parenting

Flexible, non-judgmental therapy to nurture your emotional wellbeing through pregnancy, birth, postnatal life, and beyond, helping you navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood.

Neuroaffirming Therapy

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Working with a therapist who understands neurodivergence honours how your brain works and supports you in a way that feels right for you.

Family & Relationships

When relationships feel difficult or painful, therapy can help you explore patterns, process past hurts, and nurture healthier, more supportive family and partner dynamics.

Hi, I’m Joanne. I’m an NCPS-registered counsellor and hypnotherapist offering gentle, down-to-earth therapy in Dunmow and Colchester, and Online across the UK. I also offer Walk & Talk therapy outdoors — we can agree on a suitable location within 10 miles of Felsted, Dunmow.

You’re welcome to explore my website to find out more about me and the services I offer, and get in touch to book or enquire about sessions.

Therapy That Works For You

As a pluralistic therapist, I draw on a range of counselling and hypnotherapy approaches, tailoring sessions to suit your needs, goals, and pace.

For some, therapy offers space simply to talk and be heard. For others, it’s about learning new coping strategies or exploring deeper patterns from the past. When working with fears and phobias, I often integrate counselling with hypnotherapy, which many clients find particularly effective.

With flexible booking and online sessions available, therapy can fit around your life and commitments. Whatever your reason for coming to therapy, our work together will always be guided by what feels most helpful and meaningful for you.

Finding The Right Therapist

I know that choosing the right therapist is such a personal thing and it's difficult to make a decision just by searching for therapy online. Thats's why I offer a free, no obligation, 15 minute introduction call as an opportunity for us to chat and get a feel for whether we might work well together. Get in touch to book here. Here is what past clients say:
