Hello, my name is Joanne. I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and the founder of Creating Change Counselling. I hold a Level 5 Degree in Integrative Adult Counselling.

​

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in line with their ethical framework. I am fully insured, hold an enhanced DBS certificate, and am committed to ongoing continuous professional development (CPD).

​

I am based in Halton, offering face-to-face counselling in Widnes, Runcorn, and surrounding areas, as well as online sessions for those who prefer remote support or live further afield.

​

Before retraining as a counsellor, I worked for many years as a Personal Assistant, where building strong, supportive relationships was at the heart of my role. Following an unexpected redundancy, I took the opportunity to re-evaluate my priorities and pursue counselling—something I had long felt drawn to.

​

I also have experience working as a youth worker and have volunteered within cancer and mental health support services, which has deepened my understanding of the challenges people face and the importance of compassionate, non-judgemental support.
