About me

My practice
Hi, I’m Joy Sparkes. I’ve been practising as a psychotherapist and counsellor since 2019, and I started Neuro Affirming Therapy to honour neurodiversity by embracing both strengths and challenges in how people experience the world. I work in a person-centred, integrative way — tailoring therapy to you with warmth, curiosity and respect. My training spans integrative psychotherapy, psychology (honours), and additional work in EMDR, DBT, schema therapy, trauma, neurodiversity and breathwork. I also bring lived experience into my practice. I’m passionate about helping people understand themselves, respond from choice, and grow in ways that feel meaningful and authentic.
