Joan assists adults of all ages from 17 years upwards to become aware of their life choices and personal potential. Her clients are typically people who are experiencing difficulties or simply want to enrich their life. 

Problems may stem from many sources including depression, anxiety, low self esteem or bereavement. A sense of loss can result from a change in relationships, family, home, employment, infertility or issues of faith.  It can also result from entering a different stage in life such as a new relationship, parenthood or retirement.  These can provide challenges but can also be opportunities for growth.

“I encourage and help my clients to discover and explore a quality of life that is meaningful for them, to identify the difficulties, the unhelpful experiences of the past, to work through these difficulties and to put in place the changes they are willing and able to make for a more enriching and satisfying life.”

Joan is an experienced and accredited supervisor and has been practising in Arduna since 2001.
