About me

Dr Joanne Warren has twenty-seven years professional experience working with adults, parents and children to help them better understand and address the issues they are experiencing. In addition to her clinical psychology doctorate, Dr Warren is also a fully qualified systemic and family therapist, EMDR practitioner and has undertaken additional training with CBT and psychoanalytically informed organisations.
Using a culturally sensitive, compassionate, empathic and scientifically informed approach in her practice, Dr Warren works with adults to more effectively approach the individual and relational distress which is so often associated with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, eating problems, sexual difficulty, anger problems, or behaviours such as self-harm. Such problems get in the way of people maximising their potential for living more fulfilled and happier lives. Drawing on major psychological models (such as cognitive-behavioural, attachment, and systemic approaches), Dr Warren helps free people from restrictive patterns to increase their choice of alternatives and to move forward within a more hopeful frame.
Dr Warren works with ethnically and sexually diverse, biological and adoptive parents and their children. Children who display behavioural problems or psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, are often experiencing developmental, family, school issues which are obstructing their ongoing development. With a warm interest and an up to date knowledge of best practice, Dr Warren uses models of attachment, developmental and systemic models to work with parents and children/young people to best address those issues and help parents and children/young people themselves better support their ongoing positive growth.
Dr Warren has seen over 2500 adults and children for assessment including legal assessments, over 2000 further adults and children in her psychological practice and conducted over 27,000 hours of assessment and psychological therapy.
