Before starting therapy with Joanna, I was feeling low and anxious, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on why. I work in tech, and on the surface, things were going well—successful at work, in a relationship—but I felt lost. My partner and I had been arguing more, struggling with communication, and I noticed that my usual ways of pushing through these periods of low mood weren’t working this time.

Over six months, Joanna helped me explore my history, patterns, and ways of thinking that were sometimes holding me back. I gained practical tools to manage my anxiety and, more importantly, a deeper understanding of myself—who I really am and what I want, separate from what I’ve been told I should do or be.

Therapy gave me a space I wasn’t used to—somewhere safe to explore my thoughts and feelings without judgment. Joanna was warm, patient, and thoughtful, asking the right questions to challenge me in a way that helped me grow. She also explained how therapy works, offering insights into why we were exploring certain things, which I found really helpful.

Now, I feel more in control of my life. My relationships are more meaningful, I enjoy life more, and I make choices with greater self-awareness. I highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking to understand themselves better and take charge of their mental well-being.
