Body Mind Health by Joanna Klar

About

Body Mind Health offers psychotherapy and somatic therapies in beautiful Heathcote Valley, Christchurch.

Hi, I'm Joanna. For over 16 years, I have been working as a holistic health practitioner in Europe, South East Asia and New Zealand, offering private sessions, group workshops and volunteering. Currently, I offer short and long-term psychotherapy (somatic and psychodynamic talking therapy) in my cosy clinic, located in beautiful Heathcote Valley, Christchurch.

I specialise in psycho-somatic diseases and working with trauma, focusing on body-mind integration, finding balance, a sense of wholeness, and answering the question "Who am I?". Thanks to my medical and somatic training (see below), I understand and include the body (body talk) in the psychotherapeutic process. Letting the body talk allows us to deepen the process and access unconscious narration and core beliefs.

* Somatic Mindful Psychotherapy is a client-led therapy based on the client-therapist relationship, mindfulness, loving presence, unity, organicity and wholeness. It is designed for those who deal with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, pain, and psycho-somatic symptoms, want to build confidence and self-esteem, change negative habits and beliefs, and get more clarity and understanding.

* The Conversational Model of psychodynamic psychotherapy is a relational, flexible, jargon-free model of talking therapy. Clients can experience a positive and supportive relationship, which assists them to develop a full expression of themselves. It is dedicated to clients with a wide range of difficulties, including relationship issues, developmental trauma and personality disorders.
