Hi, my name is Joanna Beales, I have been a working therapist for over 20 years, it is my passion and belief that therapy can be for anyone, and talking through issues effecting your day to day life can help you. Whether that is past or current traumas, life transtions such as divorce or illness, family issues or feelings of low confidence and your mental health is suffering, I can offer support.
We would start with a few sessions to assess and see what you require, and want from a therapeutic approach. I have multi skills and can often approach your issues from a different prospective, giving you space and time to create the future and support you want.
At times talking to friends and family is not enough, we do need some extra support.

I currently work within the NHS as a therapist for CAMHS, where I work with families or one to one with children and adolescents. I specialise in Complex presentations and trauma.
I treat private clients of all ages at a location just outside Bury St Edmund’s, West Suffolk. .
I offer a free telephone consultation for you to decide whether I am the right person for your therapeutic needs. We talk, you decide if you are comfortable.
At this time I offer face to face, video and telephone appointments. So even if you are unable to leave home you can still access support.
