Welcome to Next Chapter Psychology

Hi, my name is Joanne Williams, Clinical Psychologist and Accredited Schema Therapist – Welcome to Next Chapter Psychology Ltd

The idea of engaging in therapy, can be enough to fill a person with dread. Questions like ‘What will it be like?’; ‘What do I have to say?’; ‘Will they make me cry?’, are not uncommon.

At Next Chapter Psychology, I appreciate that it can feel overwhelming to engage in therapy which is why I employ a combination of compassionate, curious and light-hearted elements in my approach to sessions.

Drawing on my almost 2 decades of experience, spanning 3 countries, several different settings (including forensic hospitals, probation, prison and community settings) and a variety of therapeutic modalities, I aim to meet each client at the point where they are in their therapy journey. Be that exploring the option of engaging in therapy, starting therapy or exploring more in-depth issues in their lives.
