ABOUT JOHANNA

Johanna Lakin

I believe that by providing clients a non judgemental, accepting and empathic environment, their needs, attitudes, decisions and potential for growth becomes clearer and more fully formed.

​

My role is to support you through any challenges you may be having by offering you a space and meet you in a genuine, honest way. 

​

By forming a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can navigate your thoughts, feelings and experiences (past and present) to better understand how they have worked together to form your understanding of who you are and how you view your place in the world. 

​

I am dedicated to a working relationship that moves at your pace and the direction you wish it to move at. I am an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling Society (NCS) and therefore adhere to their code and guidance of good and ethical practice. I am based in Cumbria, England. 

​

I specialise in working with individuals who are struggling with eating distress (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, calorie restriction). 

 

I am an approved Police Firearms Officers Association therapist (PFOA).
