    Dr Joanna Fortune is a psychotherapist working with children, teens, and adults. She is a recognised expert in play and the author of four books on the subject. My son has started first year in secondary school and is struggling to adjust. His best friend from primary is in a different class and seems to have lost interest in him.

    Dr Joanna Fortune is a psychotherapist working with children, teens, and adults. She is a recognised expert in play and the author of four books on the subject.

    Dr Joanna Fortune is a psychotherapist working with children, teens, and adults. She is a recognised expert in play and the author of four books on the subject. I had a small disagreement with my mother-in-law over the summer about the children’s bedtimes — she believes we are far too lax. She hasn’t spoken to me since. My husband tried to act as a peacemaker but she wouldn’t budge, saying she was too upset by my rude behaviour. Our relationship has never been easy but, up until now, we have fou

    Dr Joanna Fortune is a psychotherapist working with children, teens, and adults. She is a recognised expert in play and the author of four books on the subject. My sister and her husband run their own business and are well off. We have always been close, and our two families go on holiday each year.
