Joanna Driscoll   

Jo has worked professionally with children, adolescents and young people for over fifteen years. She has a unique aspect of understanding young people as she has worked in both educational and clinical settings. Therefore, she is able to offer therapy whilst acknowledging the demands and rigor of education examinations and assessments. Jo is specialising in working with anxiety-based conditions, such as panic disorder, phobias, generalised anxiety disorder, social phobia, OCD and PTSD. Due to her experience of working within the education sector she is extremely confident in working with exam anxiety and anxieties around starting school/college/university.

From working with children, adolescents and young people Jo is able to communicate with a wide variety of ages to ensure that therapy is clearly accessible even for the young to an adult. Jo uses a wide range of practices to engage her clients such as relaxation techniques alongside deeper mindfulness practices, as and when necessary. She is confident in working with those with social communication disorders (Aspergers and ASD) and neurodevelopment disorders (ADHD).

Jo’s approach is kind, supportive and always when working with children, adolescents and young people and brings a tiny bit of fun along to ensure the sessions are engaging.
