About Joelle
Areas of Practice
I offer online counselling in the following areas:
Relationships, Communication, and Boundary Skills – practical, skills-based support for communication, boundary-setting, and emotional regulation.
My book, The Boundary Setting Guide, is available on Amazon.
Trauma – including abuse, accidents, and major life events.
Anxiety – including social anxiety, specific phobias, health anxiety, death anxiety, and generalized anxiety.
Chronic Illness and Pain – emotional and psychological support for autoimmune conditions, chronic health issues, and chronic pain.
My book, Managing Personal, Emotional, and Social Aspects of Chronic Illness: A Workbook, is available on Amazon.
Clinical Supervision and EMDR Consultation: for therapists and counsellors seeking support in trauma-informed practice and EMDR work.
Couples: Couples therapy focused on communication, emotional safety, and repairing stuck patterns. I work with couples who want practical tools, deeper understanding, and a more sustainable way of relating—whether you’re in crisis or simply feeling disconnected.
Therapeutic Approaches:
EMDR – trauma-focused EMDR treatment, with EMDRIA certification and advanced training in anxiety disorders, dissociation, chronic pain, and complex trauma.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) – with additional professional development in anxiety, depression, mindfulness, and life skills.
DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) – with a focus on emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
