Personal Profile
Joh is a generally registered psychologist with experience supporting adults across a broad range of mental health concerns, with particular expertise in complex and developmental trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, and dissociative coping responses. Since 2016, she has worked with individuals seeking long-term, relationally focused therapy to build safety, stability, and meaningful change.
​
Joh works with presentations including anxiety and depression, trauma and complex PTSD, stress and burnout, neurodivergence (including Autism and ADHD), identity and self-worth concerns, life transitions, and interpersonal or relational difficulties. She has a particular interest in supporting individuals impacted by developmental and relational trauma, as well as those who experience dissociation or longstanding trauma-related coping patterns.
​
Her therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in a phase-oriented understanding of recovery. Her therapeutic approach focuses on strengthening emotional regulation and distress tolerance, increasing capacity to remain present during periods of heightened affect, deepening self-understanding, and supporting clients to move toward lives that feel more aligned, connected, and sustainable.
​
Joh draws on a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed frameworks and has undertaken specialised training in trauma-informed and relational practice. Her advanced clinical training includes:
​
