Joyce Chiu Broadbent
Integrative psychotherapistAbout Me
Since 2000, I support women going through significant life changes e.g. bereavement, life-threatening illness, trauma, relationship issues and mid-life crisis. They often experience feelings of isolation, anger, guilt, shame, insecurity, anxiety and despair.
When my loved one died of Parkinson’s Disease, it gave me a deeper insight into suffering, loss and grief. Together with further professional training, I learnt that we can still live well oscillating between grief and restoration work and I want that for my clients too. Bereavement and grief is such a misunderstood and inevitable life stage and because of this, I have started specialising in this area. I want my clients to feel heard and accepted and that what they are going through is normal. I want to help them make sense of what is happening to them and to encourage them to develop personally and spiritually.
Sometimes, talking therapy is not enough. I provide tools e.g. guided meditations, hypnotherapy, dream analysis and resource materials to engage my clients in a variety of ways. I myself write poems as a way to articulate my own experiences.
In addition to counselling and psychotherapy, my services include:
- EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy
- Life Coaching
- Reiki Treatments
- Reiki Workshops
- 8 Week Mindfulness Courses
- Forgiveness Process Courses.
Most of my sessions are face to face. I am based in South West London, SW19 and near the Wimbledon Park tube station. Clients can park on the road or in my forecourt. The road is in a peaceful environment, surrounded by trees and a park with a lake is nearby. I also work with those based outside London and beyond the UK by telephone, FaceTime, WeChat, VSee and SKYPE.
I see clients from 2 - 9 pm Monday through Thursday.
