Joanne Allmand

In my practice, my aim is to work with you, exploring your experience of the world and how it is affecting you. During our sessions, we work together - taking time to build a good relationship, sitting together with the difficult stuff and finding our way through the feelings it brings up. 

Having worked for over 20 years in education and also for the local authority, I have had extensive experience of supporting people through a range of issues which affect their self-image, their relationships and their aspirations for the future. Since beginning my formal therapist training in 2010 I have worked in a range of non-profit counselling and mental health organisations in Coventry, as well as in private practice. I also hold a Diploma in counselling supervision.

Qualifications:

- BSc Hons in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, accredited by Coventry University and studied at The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute, Nottingham. BACP accredited course.

- Diploma in Counselling Supervision  - The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute

I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and subscribe to the BACP Ethical Framework and Code of ethics, to regular supervision of my work and to ongoing reflexive training programmes.
