Joanne Braker

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to seek the support that you are looking for. I'm Jo and am both a qualified intergarative therapist and Dramatherapist (registered with the HCPC and British association of Dramatherapy)

As a therapist I am focused on the importance of the theraputic relationship to support the needs of the individual, enabling you to build safety and trust to be able to share and explore your experiences.

I am person focused – meaning I take my cue from the individual, their interests and what they bring. I am able to draw on a range of theories and use a spectrum of creative arts including art, music and sand tray, to enable the individual to make connections and find a way in to exploring and understanding the issues that they come with.

I have substantial experience in working with children and adults. I have experience in CAMHS, schools, residential children’s homes, Post adoption, Trauma and neurodivergence. I am experienced in supporting Adult mental health, have inpatient, charity and parental support experience and am trauma informed.

I run my own private practice in Tiverton and Barnstaple

Taking the first step to come to therapy can feel big and I appreciate the challenge in taking this first step.

During our initial , no obligation session we will take the time to get to know each other and explore why you are seeking therapy

We will have a general chat about how I work, discuss the approach that best suits your needs and determine whether we can work together in a therapeutic way.
