Who We Are

Since 2011, The Well-Minded Practice has been helping clients in the UK and overseas overcome life’s challenges and move forward with confidence. Using the Human Givens approach, a brief, solution-focused method, we combine practical strategies, the latest neuroscience insights, and proven therapeutic techniques to create personalised support that really works.

Our Treatment Focus

We believe mental distress happens when our essential needs aren’t fully met. Using the Human Givens approach, we help people identify what’s missing, restore balance, and build practical coping skills, supporting them to overcome anxiety, stress, depression, phobias, and more.

Our Promise to You

We provide practical support and effective psychological interventions that address mental and emotional distress here and now, guiding you step by step towards your personal goals.

Joanna is a qualified and highly experienced psychotherapist who has helped hundreds of individuals move forward from challenging periods in their lives. She works with all forms of emotional distress, ensuring that alongside tailored therapeutic work, clients leave with a strong foundation of understanding and practical tools to maintain their own emotional health.

Joanna has a specialist interest in sleep, including its impact on mental and physical wellbeing. She trained with the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford and integrates this expertise into her work with clients.


In addition to her therapy practice, Joanna is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), recognising her sustained record of leading and influencing teaching and learning in higher education. This demonstrates her expertise in supporting, guiding, and enhancing the professional practice of colleagues, students, and other professionals in a wide range of educational and clinical settings. She and her team provide student mental health and wellbeing training, psychoeducation, and mediation services, working with institutions including Student Minds and acting as an assessor for the University Mental Health Charter.

Returning to her roots in Human Givens therapy, Joanna is a senior tutor and assessor on the Human Givens Diploma in Psychotherapy, Head of Supervision for the Human Givens College, and host of their podcast.


In 2021, Joanna was appointed a director of One Step Borders, a charity supporting young people in the Scottish Borders with emotional and mental health challenges.


Outside of work, Joanna enjoys walking, running, sailing, and being in nature. She is also a qualified yoga teacher.
