Somatic Mindful Psychotherapy Christchurch

Hi, I am Joanna. For over 16 years, I have been working as a holistic health practitioner in Europe, South East Asia and New Zealand, offering private sessions, group workshops and volunteering. Currently, I offer short and long-term psychotherapy (somatic and psychodynamic talking therapy) in my cosy clinic, located in beautiful Heathcote Valley, Christchurch.

 

I specialise in psycho-somatic diseases and working with trauma, focusing on body-mind integration, finding balance, a sense of wholeness, and answering the question "Who am I?". Thanks to my medical and somatic training (see below), I understand and include the body (body talk) in the psychotherapeutic process. Letting the body talk allows us to deepen the process and access unconscious narration and core beliefs.

   

* Somatic Mindful Psychotherapy is a client-led therapy based on the client-therapist relationship, mindfulness, loving presence, unity, organicity and wholeness. It is designed for those who deal with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, pain, and psycho-somatic symptoms, want to build confidence and self-esteem, change negative habits and beliefs, and get more clarity and understanding. 


* The Conversational Model of psychodynamic psychotherapy is a relational, flexible, jargon-free model of talking therapy. Clients can experience a positive and supportive relationship, which assists them to develop a full expression of themselves. It is dedicated to clients with a wide range of difficulties, including relationship issues, developmental trauma and personality disorders.

I am a registered therapist, and my work is supervised. As a lifelong learner, I regularly attend workshops and webinars and love reading books.

 

Please get in touch with me if you want to know more or make an appointment.

I can’t recommend Joanna more highly

I can’t recommend Joanna more highly.

Whilst I have done counselling previously, I was looking for someone who would have a more holistic approach. Joanna’s somatic mindful psychotherapy helped me identify how my anxiety was also having physical effects and assisted me to develop ways to counter this. We also developed strategies to acknowledge past experiences and move forward.

Joanna is kind, professional and caring. I always felt safe and supported during my sessions.
