Joanna Dreher Consulting - Therapist and Coach — Counsellor in London, England

Jo helped me hugely at a very difficult time in my life. She listened and she ‘got it’. She was always warm and empathetic and really helped me process the break up I was going through.

I have known Joanna for many years and have had the privilege of seeing her transition from a successful career in finance into psychotherapy and counselling with real dedication and integrity. We have spent many years discussing life, personal challenges, and the process of personal growth. Through those conversations, I have seen first-hand the qualities she brings to her work — patience, deep listening, compassion, and a thoughtful, grounded perspective. In times of trouble, she is the first person i call. Joanna is someone who genuinely cares about helping people understand themselves and navigate difficult moments in life. She brings warmth, honesty, and professionalism to everything she does, and I have great respect for the commitment she has shown to becoming an excellent therapist. If you are looking for a therapist who will listen carefully, hold space without judgement, and support you with empathy and insight, Joanna is someone you can trust.

I can’t recommend Joanna highly enough. She supported me through an intense period of change—adjusting to life as a new mum while also building my own business—both of which surfaced a lot of anxiety and self-doubt. She has an exceptional ability to listen deeply and to gently guide conversations in a way that brings insight and clarity. Her questions are thoughtful and perceptive, helping me uncover things I hadn’t fully recognised myself, without ever feeling intrusive or overwhelming. She brings a quiet confidence and steadiness to her work that immediately puts you at ease. Throughout our time working together, she was consistently warm, compassionate, and encouraging. I always felt respected and genuinely understood. She combines emotional intelligence with a strong depth of professional knowledge, offering really nurturing support. Thanks to her support, I now feel calmer and more confident as I navigate motherhood and business ownership. I feel like I’ve gained a stronger trust in my own abilities. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist. Don’t hesitate!!

Jo is brilliant! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, insightful and deeply supportive therapist. I have worked with Jo for almost 2 yrs now. I feel truly listened to and understood. The space she creates is safe, calm and nonjudgmental. Her integrative approach, depth of knowledge and insight has helped me explore my thoughts, feelings and patterns in a deeper way and over time I have gained valuable insight and understanding into my self and my relationships— coming away with a greater sense of clarity and self awareness. I am now able to identify, sit with and process my emotions in a way I never could before. Also the changes to my physical health through exploring my childhood and the emotions which surround this has improved ten fold! I am continuing to grow in many ways and I am extremely grateful for the space she holds. Thank you!

Jo is an extremely talented, skilled and professional helper who seamlessly blends her two great skills - coaching and therapy. I have got to know Jo nad her work and wholeheartedly recommend her. If you are looking for a wonderful coaching based therapist who cares deeply about her work and her clients you need look no further than Jo.

What I love about Joanna is she is qualified as both a therapist and a coach - meaning some sessions we deep dive into the past and other times focus purely on the future. Sometimes when focusing on the future, I will hit a limiting self-believe that’s come from something in the past, so then we can go back on unpick that together. Joanne’s experience in the professional world is a huge benefit to me as I’ve struggled to find that in therapists in the past that understand that world. On top of all the above Joanna is warm, calming, intelligent and someone I trust. I’ve seen Joanna on and off for several years now and it’s great to have someone I can return to if things feel rocky or I want to talk something through with someone wise. I see Joanna online, highly recommend.

Working with Joanna has been really life-changing for me. What I like about her is the depth that she gets me to. She has a way of helping me see old stories and beliefs and how they impact my life. And then guides me into deeper levels of myself to be able to make changes. If you're looking for a coach who will bring presence, care and humour to create meaningful shifts, I can't recommend her highly enough.

"Joanna Dreher worked with me to help me overcome some serious challenges I was facing in my life. Her success was based on her ability to help me understand the experiences of my younger self and the lasting impact they had on me. She also helped me to maintain a regular inner dialogue, and to recognise triggers that had led to stress, anxiety, or even anger in the past. Thanks to Joanna I have adopted daily habits to ensure I am in control of my mental wellbeing and it's no exaggeration to say she has changed my life for the better. I cannot recommend her highly enough"

I have visited Joanna on a number of occasions over the past 6 years for help with stress and anxiety Joanna is calm, patient, empathetic and incredibly insightful and makes me feel like I could talk to her about anything without being judged She also recommends supplementary reading which I have found very useful in gaining a greater understanding of my issues As a result of our sessions I feel much calmer and in control I would not hesitate to recommend Joanna as a therapist

I’d come to a point in my life where I was ‘stuck’ I didn’t know how to move forward in my career, which was affecting my personal life too. Joannna was simply amazing! We worked together to find ways to move forward. My life and career path were transformed. I now am on a career path I could only dream of being on. 5 stars all round.
