Wellbeing for All

Accessible Wellbeing Services for All at Joanne Sims Wellbeing

At Joanne Sims Wellbeing, inclusivity is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that everyone, regardless of ability, should have access to the healing and transformative benefits of therapy, coaching, and holistic practices. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to create a welcoming, adaptable, and accessible environment for individuals with disabilities, ensuring that our services are available to everyone who wishes to receive them.

Tailored Services for Individuals with Disabilities

Each person’s needs are unique, which is why every client receives an individual assessment before starting services. This assessment allows me to fully understand your specific needs and preferences, ensuring that I can tailor the approach to best support you on your wellbeing journey.

1. Communication Support

  • Makaton: I am trained in Makaton, a language program that uses signs and symbols to help people communicate. Whether you or your loved one prefers to use Makaton, we can incorporate it into our sessions to ensure clear and comfortable communication.
  • Visual Aids: For clients who benefit from visual support, I use visuals, symbols, and other aids to help facilitate understanding and engagement during our sessions.

2. Creative Approaches

  • Art and Creative Therapies: I offer creative therapeutic approaches, such as art therapy, which can be particularly effective for those who may find verbal communication challenging. Expressing feelings through art, music, or other creative mediums can be a powerful way to explore emotions and promote healing.
  • Play Therapy: For children or those who respond well to play-based approaches, I incorporate play therapy techniques that allow for self-expression in a safe and supportive environment.

3. Experience with Diverse Needs With extensive experience working with children and adults who have additional needs, I am well-equipped to tailor my therapeutic methods to meet the unique challenges and strengths of each individual. My approach is always flexible, patient, and compassionate, ensuring that every client feels valued and understood.

Accessible Practices Across All Services

Whether you’re seeking counselling, therapeutic coaching, Reiki, breathwork, meditation, or mindfulness, all of my services are designed to be adaptable to meet your specific needs:

  • Counselling & Therapeutic Coaching: Sessions are tailored to suit your communication style, whether that involves simplified language, the use of technology, or creative expression. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable and empowered to explore your emotions and work towards your goals.
  • Reiki & Energy Healing: Reiki sessions are accessible to everyone, regardless of physical ability. The gentle, non-invasive nature of Reiki makes it ideal for clients with various needs, offering relaxation and healing without the need for movement or verbal communication.
  • Breathwork, Meditation & Mindfulness: These practices can be adapted to suit your abilities, whether through guided visualizations, the use of tactile aids, or modifications to traditional practices to ensure they are inclusive and accessible.

Individual Assessments for Personalized Care

Before beginning any service, each client receives a personalized assessment to identify their specific needs and preferences. This ensures that I can provide the most effective and supportive experience possible, tailored to your unique situation. By understanding your individual challenges and strengths, we can work together to create a therapy plan that truly meets your needs.

A Commitment to Inclusive Wellbeing

At Joanne Sims Wellbeing, inclusivity is not just a goal; it’s a commitment. I believe strongly in breaking down barriers to therapy and holistic wellbeing, ensuring that everyone who wishes to receive support can do so in a way that feels right for them.

If you or a loved one have specific needs or require adaptations to access my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am here to work with you to create a supportive, accessible environment that honours your individual needs and helps you on your journey to wellbeing.
