My name is Joanna Pike. I live in Bourbonnais in Central France close to
Bourbon l’Archambault in the 03 Department of Allier.
My Background
My training is in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I am a professional
member of the Association of Group and Individual Psychotherapy in
London, England (http://www.agip.org.uk/) qualifying in 2002. On
completing this training I registered with the UKCP (United Kingdom
Council for Psychotherapy). Living in France, I have been accepted as a
member of la Confédération Européenne de Psychothérapie Psychanalytique
(E.C.P.P.) which is a branch of the European Association for
Psychotherapy (EAP).
My initial training for work with individuals was in horticultural
therapy moving to therapeutic community settings 25 years ago in London,
working with young adults and adolescents. I worked very much ‘from the
ground upwards’ with a rich experience of gradual personal and
professional development throughout the years. The culmination of this
development led to managing a therapeutic day centre for adults who had
experienced mental illness with emphasis on rehabilitation through the
creative arts, individual counselling, and groupwork. I supervised and
trained staff and students for many years. I have worked in private
practice as a psychotherapist and counsellor since 1998 (first as a
trainee and then as a qualified practitioner).
My working life in the field of psychotherapy began with an interest in
the writings of C.G.Jung. Since this initial encounter, I have broadened
my understanding considerably through my own life experience and
interests together with my encountering other theorists in the field of
psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and philosophy within my training.
However, I feel still indebted to Jung’s way of enabling us to perceive
ourselves in relation to our inner experience.
What I offer you:
A confidential meeting at the same time each week for 50 minutes. A
space for you to talk about the concerns which have brought you to
therapy with a view to understanding them at a greater depth. My work is
to enable you to find the answers you have within yourself. I will be
with you to help you find words for experiences which you may find
confusing or upsetting in your life and to help you to find a way of
moving forward. The session offers a space to get to know yourself more
fully, the experience of which can enable you hopefully to have more
freedom and autonomy as well as a greater enrichment in your life.
Therapy can be short term or longer term.
Please feel free to phone me or contact me by email to arrange a meeting
with no obligation attached. I speak French and English.
My fees are 50€ per 50 minute session -
A sliding scale is available in cases of financial difficulty.
