About Me

Hi, my name is Juna Brookes and I’ve been practicing therapy for over 7 years. I was born and have lived in the Muslim country Azerbaijan.  Having moved to the UK 20 years ago I know what it is like to feel like an outsider. My practice is open to diversity, warmly welcoming people from different religions, nationalities, and sexualities.

I am a qualified Counsellor, Hypnotherapist and EMDR Therapist. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).  I have been a BACP member since I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University.  I use an integrative approach to work with my clients which means I incorporate different theories and techniques to suit my client’s individual needs. I  hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

When I take off my Therapist Hat…

I have found that I am most effective as a therapist (wife and mum) when I have enough self care in my life. I make sure I dedicate some time to my favourite hobbies; finding sea glass on beaches, making mosaics with them, and indoor climbing.

I also love my bird Bella, she brings a lot of fun and joy in my life.
