List of services
Personal therapy
These are confidential, once weekly counselling sessions that last 50 minutes. We would see each other regularly, in my therapy room on a specific day and at the time agreed during the first meeting. I offer a psychodynamic way of working, which means that I assist you in gaining an understanding of how and why your past affects your current life. Personal therapy is suitable for anyone who thinks they could benefit from this type of work.
Couples Counselling
All relationships change. Unfortunately, sometimes the resentment towards a person we used to love seems to grow, and we get lost in finding a way to understand each other. If you would like to improve the communication in your relationship and mutual understanding, I invite you to a confidential, safe space where you can explore your partnership's trouble.
About me
My name is Joanna Tobitt, and I am a BPC Accredited and
BACP Registered Counsellor (MBACP).
I work with adults experiencing mild to moderate psychological problems.
I see clients in my private practice in Welwyn Garden City and North London.
For the past few years, alongside my practice as a Counsellor, I worked as an HCA for Hertfordshire Mental Health Trust, caring for patients at psychiatric and recovery units. In the past, I assisted clients experiencing psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship breakdowns, self-harm, and those who experienced neglect and abuse in childhood.
I follow a strict BPC and BACP code of conduct, use regular supervision and am fully insured.
