Hi, I’m Joanna

Registered Counsellor, Coach & Separation Consultant.

Supporting women through the emotional and practical realities of life’s turning points.

I’m someone who has lived through (and continues to move through) many of the same seasons my clients find themselves in like…. changes in identity, shifts in relationships, motherhood and co-parenting, rebuilding after upheaval, and remembering who you are underneath responsibility and expectation.

I know what it feels like to hold big emotions while still running households, careers, and lives that don’t pause.

Those experiences shape how I sit with women in their own transitions - with steadiness, compassion, and a deep understanding of what these seasons actually feel like.

Integrated Counselling & Coaching Approach

As a counsellor and coach, I bring both therapeutic depth and grounded, real-world guidance.

Women come to me because they don’t just want a place to vent. They want clarity, support, and someone who understands the emotional layers and the everyday decisions that come with big life changes.

My approach weaves together:

Counselling

To explore what’s happening internally - your emotions, patterns, self-relationship, nervous system, and the deeper themes beneath your experiences.

Coaching

To support your outer world — your choices, boundaries, relationships, communication, and the practical steps that help you move forward with clarity.

Together, this creates support that is:

  • emotionally steady

  • deeply validating

  • practical and actionable

  • trauma-aware

  • honest and personalised

  • grounded in your actual life, not abstract theory

Get the support that fits you, your season, and the pace you’re ready for.
