Joanna Rossetti

Jo sees her work as nurturing people and their connections, to allow individuals and relationships to thrive. She works hard to create a non-blaming, non-judgmental space as she believes strongly in the therapeutic power of empathy, acceptance and safety to create positive change for individuals and relationships. She works through an attachment, trauma-informed lens, using warmth and compassion to attune to her clients and help them explore and express their vulnerabilities and needs.

Jo specialises in Emotionally Focused Therapy for individuals, couples and families, working to help change the negative cycles that get relationships stuck and block attachment needs from being met. She also works with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to heal attachment trauma. She has completed additional specialist training in working with relationships where neurodiversity is present. Jo has lived experience of autism and ADHD in her own family, which means that she has lived experience of the joys and challenges that neurodiversity brings to individual mental health, to relationships and to families.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, Jo was a lawyer specialising in dispute resolution and international arbitration in the construction and engineering industry in Australia, the UK and Europe.
