Joanne Searle | UKCP Registered Psychotherapist: Couples & Individuals

Online couples counselling

I have been an individual and couples psychotherapist since 1996. I define intimacy in relationship as being emotionally open and physically close. I focus my work with individuals and couples who are facing challenges in their relationship(s), and/or who recognize the value of therapeutic input to improve their experience of their relationship(s). I do this by supporting couples in their individual and shared journey to experience true intimacy. 

Since lockdown at the start of the pandemic, I have offered individual and couples therapy, counselling and coaching virtually using Zoom. I find working online with Zoom very effective. 

I am currently based in Johannesburg, South Africa, having lived in London for 15 years. Whilst there I retrained as a Humanistic and Intergrative Psychotherapist. I work with clients from both South Africa, UK & Europe.
