Joelle Theodoropoulos

Counselling with me isn’t about performing, explaining yourself, or being anyone other than exactly who you are right now. I’m Joelle, an integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP, and I work with LGBTQIA+ clients, neurodivergent clients, people who are grieving, and people who hurt themselves or have in the past. A lot of the people who find me feel flat, stuck, or somewhere in the middle, not in crisis and not okay either, and that in-between is totally valid and absolutely worth taking seriously. My foundation is person-centred, which means you lead and I follow, and I’ll never tell you what to do with your life, but I’ll bring in CBT, Gestalt, psychoeducation and creative work when it helps, always as an invitation and never as homework you have to get right. I’ve lived a fair bit of life across different cultures and identities, so I don’t assume what ‘normal’ looks like for you. I won’t promise you a fix, because I don’t believe in them, but I’ll sit with you while you work out what an acceptable level of all this looks like, and I’ll probably ask you what you’d say to a friend in your shoes. Sessions are 50 minutes, 1:1, and if weekly isn’t affordable we can talk about fortnightly or monthly. If you’re curious, get in touch and we’ll take it from there.
