About Joe

Originally from Lancashire, I have lived in Southsea since 2000. I have a grown up daughter.

Between 1994 and 2000, I undertook various NLP training and I’m now an experienced NLP Master Practitioner. I have a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling, and I am BACP Accredited.

I also bring a wealth of personal life experience to my work, with a good awareness of gender and power issues, knowledge and experience of meditation and relaxation techniques, experience of empowering people to take control of their lives, both 1-1 and in groups, and working with individuals and organisations to help them function better.

As well as work with private clients, I provide supervision to other counsellors in the local area. Contact me to talk about how I can work with you.
