JOANNE VIDETZKY
Clinical Psychologist
Welcome to my therapy practice. I offer a safe space to support you through life's challenges. My hope is to be able to help you to understand and clarify your thoughts, feelings and actions, in order to set in motion changes that open up pathways for a more meaningful and fulfilled life.
About me
I have been practicing as a Clinical Psychologist for 24 years, offering therapy to adults, adolescents and couples. I trained and qualified in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. I worked as a School Psychologist for 6 years before starting my private practice. I also began teaching at tertiary level at the South African College of Applied Psychology. In August 2022 I moved to London with my family and registered as a Clinical Psychologist with the HCPC in the UK. I offer psychotherapy in central London and in Mill Hill, NW London, as well as online. I also continue to work in tertiary education and offer supervision and consultation for other clinicians.
I am curious about the ways in which people story their lives and how unhelpful narratives take hold and influence how we feel about ourselves and our world. I enjoy the collaborative process of exploring these with my clients, and supporting them in reshaping their narratives and reclaiming their lives. For me, it is a richly meaningful and rewarding process.

Therapeutic Approach
With the pressures and stresses of our daily lives, at times it may feel that we need support in order to navigate the challenges that we are experiencing. We may find ourselves in a place that we don't want to be in. I am a firm believer in the power of the therapeutic process to facilitate healing and growth, and to open up possibilities for living a life that we really want. I have witnessed in my practice how people can reclaim their lives from the problems that seem to have taken hold, and from unhelpful ways of thinking and being.
My approach is an integrative one, tailored to the specific needs of each client, and draws on Narrative Therapy, CBT, Person-centred, Existential Therapy, Systemic ideas and Mindfulness-based techniques. Central to the process is identifying your goals and values, and finding ways to align yourself with those.
