About Joanna
Joanna Oxford is a counsellor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She listens to worries about relationships, grief, parenting, sleep and self-esteem. She also supports people facing trauma, depression, anger and work-related strain.
Joanna uses a blend of practical approaches to suit each person. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and actions. She also uses attachment and emotionally focused ideas to help with close relationships and feelings.
Background and approach
Her way of working is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Conversations are shaped by the client’s goals and everyday realities.
Joanna has 12 years of experience, including work within NHS mental health services. Her background means she is used to working with a wide range of life challenges and transitions. She offers therapy by video, phone, live chat and text messaging.
Many clients find this flexible approach fits around work, family and travel commitments. Joanna accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit their schedule.
Joanna aims to create a space where people can talk through difficult feelings and make practical changes that matter in daily life.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values and can help with anxiety, stress and coping with change.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections. It helps people understand emotional responses in close relationships and can improve intimacy and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process may combine methods to match the problem and the person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when video is not ideal. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to book around work, travel or family commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
