Dr Joyline Schwitters

Joyline is amazing at what she does. She is a highly experienced practitioner, and her ability to assess what I needed from as early as the initial session has truly helped change my life for the better. She has a very ethical approach in that once she thinks you are ready to move on with your life independently, she will voice this, rather than ‘dragging out’ unnecessary sessions

Dr. Joyline Schwitters is an exceptionally professional and impactful therapist. She truly takes her time with her patients and creates a safe space that feels both respectful and genuinely supportive. She has a remarkable ability to go deep and provide practical tools that you can actually use in your everyday life. Through working with her I’ve experienced profound personal growth, she has helped me unlock parts of myself I didn’t fully understand before. I now have a much clearer sense of who I am and how I operate. Every single session felt meaningful and brought new insights or breakthroughs. You can immediately tell that she is highly experienced and truly knows what she’s doing. I’m incredibly grateful for the positive impact her therapy has had on my life, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for real transformative change.

I worked with Dr Joyline on a weekly basis for five years. I first sought psychodynamic psychotherapy to address how previous childhood trauma was impacting me in the present day. Then, after a traumatic life event, her unwavering support brought me back to myself. With time, we explored many avenues together: from identity and belonging to self-worth and relationship dynamics. Dr Joyline was a reliable, informed, and understanding voice, who walked alongside me during a particularly difficult few years. Since then, I have decided to train in psychotherapy myself and support others the way I was supported.

Dr. Joyline has a warm and safe presence that allowed me to explore my past and be vulnerable in a way that is truly rare. Her intuitive guidance helped me to gain new insights and process old traumas. I am grateful for our sessions together and would recommend her to anyone seeking therapy that is willing to dig deep.

I started seeing Dr Joyline in 2023 and worked with her for about a year. When I first reached out, I was feeling burnt out, exhausted, and struggling to cope. She helped me understand and work through the root causes of my issues, while also providing practical tools to manage stress and anxiety on a day to day basis. As a result of our work together, I feel I have a much better understanding of myself and my behaviours, and I’m better equipped to cope with my environment. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to others.

I’ve had a really positive experience working with Dr Joyline. She’s warm and thoughtful, and from early on I felt like I could be open without being judged. She has truly created a safe space where I feel heard and understood. She has a great way of asking the right questions, which has helped me understand myself and some of my patterns much more clearly. There have been quite a few moments where something’s just clicked in a way I wasn’t expecting. Her insights have helped me grow in ways I never expected when I started therapy. I’m very grateful for the support I’ve received and would highly recommend her!

This was my first experience with therapy. I really valued the sessions being in-person as it kept me focused and present. Joyline was fantastic in navigating me through my thoughts and leading me to my own revelations. I particularly appreciated her attention to detail in analysing what I was sharing.

I had the privilege of working with this therapist during a particularly challenging period in my life, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she created a space that felt safe, supportive and understanding. Her ability to listen with empathy and without judgment and to hold space for the nuances of my identity and experiences was very helpful. She was attuned not just to what I was saying but to the underlying emotions and experiences shaping my perspective. Her approach to psychotherapy, particularly her use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) was effective. She helped me develop practical tools to better understand and manage my thoughts and behaviours.

I worked with Joyline for 3 years. We started with weekly sessions for about a year and a half, then progressed to biweekly sessions, and went back to higher frequency sessions when I needed more support. I had been looking for the right therapist for a couple months. After short therapy stints here and there to help me manage anxiety and depression episodes, I knew I wanted to commit to long term therapy to address core issues that kept coming back up. I was also eager to get to know myself better, I felt lost and purposeless. From the very first consultation, Joyline was so professional, attentive and helpful that I knew this was going to be a good fit. She listened to me with incredible attention and immediately started connecting dots and identifying potential areas I needed to look at more closely. She proposed that we start with an open ended psychodynamic approach. So that’s we did and it quickly became transformative for me. I started gaining confidence and recognising the unhelpful thought patterns I was stuck in, and most importantly the reasons why. Throughout this process, Joyline was always really flexible (agreeing to change the frequency of our sessions as needed), and demonstrated that she can effectively work with different approaches to adapt to her clients need (from time to time, when I was struggling, she would take a more practical approach and pull tools from her CBT toolkit to help me through rough patches). And even though I was in it for the long run, she often reminded me that the work we did together was to help me gather the tools to ev...

Dr Joyline Schwitters was professional, empathetic, and kind. I felt truly listened to, which made me feel safe unjudged as a result allowed me to open up about my difficulties for the first time.
