Staff Profile_Joanna Standen

Meet Joanna


Joanna has been working as a Social Worker since 2015 and a Counsellor since 2020. Having worked across a range of settings within the mental health, family support, and domestic violence sectors, Joanna formed an interest in psychotherapy and counselling, and a deep curiosity around the mechanisms that support people to heal.



Joanna believes that exploration of the inner world facilitates a significant shift towards healing and also promotes a greater sense of personal agency and emotional freedom.


Joana is currently completing study within the field of Somatic Therapy, an approach that respects the intricate bond between the physical body and emotional well-being.
