Do you remember a time when... life felt good, easy and familiar? When struggle, mistrust and that sense of feeling lost in it all weren’t the “norm”? Do those days feel like a distant memory? Hi, I'm Joanne Deaker and I help people like you break free of Good Girl Syndrome so they can unapologetically be themselves and enjoy life like they were meant too. I also specialize in divorce recovery. I use creative (arts therapy) and embodied (somatic) processes to help you get out of your head and into your body so we can go deep, get to the root of your challenges and move them.
I'm a divorcee and a recovering ‘good girl’ so when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist you'll get someone who truly understands we're you're at and what it takes to move out of it. I currently offer: online 1:1 therapy to adults 18+; and a live, online small group coaching program on 'Breaking Free From Good Girl Syndrome'.
If you're ready to do this courageous, deeply rewarding work so that you can bring joy back into your life again, I would love to help you. To see if we're a fit for 1:1 therapy please book a free intro session via my website OR if you'd like to be part of my next group coaching program 'Breaking Free From Good Girl Syndrome' join my waitlist on my website.

I use embodied processing (a somatic technique) to tap into the wisdom of your body to create a container in which to safely find, feel and allow emotions around change to slowly surface and move. Arts therapy is used alongside this because of its gentleness, additional ability to bypass the thinking mind and because it literally helps us to see the 'bigness' of change in a life transition.

The basis of embodied processing is that 'our body reflects our nervous system & holds deep wisdom that is beyond thought' & arts therapy that: 'everything we create is a reflection of us and therefore has meaning to us'. Combined together these processes help us get out of our heads and into our bodies so the roots of our issues can be uncovered and processed from within a safe container.
