About Johanna Phillips

Johanna is a Registered Social Worker holding a Masters of Counselling Psychology with a strong passion for maternal mental health. As a mother of three, she deeply understands the many challenging seasons of motherhood. Johanna's therapeutic approach is rooted in the client relationship, offering an honest and non-judgmental space to navigate the realities of parenthood, fostering mental resilience to empower individuals in their parenting journey.

Dedicated to supporting individuals through both current and past trauma, as well as challenges like body image, identity, sex and intimacy, postpartum mood disorders, and parental rage/anger, Johanna draws from various therapeutic modalities. These include elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic and Body-Focused Therapy, and Attachment-based Therapy, and she is also trained to offer EMDR therapy online. Clients can expect an authentic and supportive experience, where vulnerability is welcomed, often accompanied by laughter, tears, and perhaps a few shared swear words.

The Personal

What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long day? Sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in silence!

What’s a small joy that never fails to make you smile? Getting a Facetime call from my sister

What’s your go-to comfort show, podcast, or book? Some sort of crime drama

What’s a parenting mantra or quote you love? My voice becomes their inner voice

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you? I played rugby in high school!

Coffee order, tea ritual, or favorite snack? Large french vanilla half decaf  

If you had a whole afternoon to yourself, how would you spend it? Probably panicking about the best way to spend it and ending up doing very little!
