Background and approach

Joanne holds a Foundation Degree in Counselling Studies and Early Childhood Studies and Practice, and a Bachelor of Education Studies. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Joanne often uses client-centred ways of working alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused ideas.

She helps people set small goals, try practical steps between sessions, and notice what changes. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people want help finding direction and staying on track. Her personal experience of sport, travel and parenting informs a warm, human style.

Sessions are relaxed but goal-oriented, with room for humour and honest reflection. Joanne supports people working through issues around eating, sleeping, intimacy, ADHD and neurodivergence, and caregiver strain. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to match different needs.

New clients start by completing a short questionnaire and then arranging a first appointment that fits their schedule.

How Joanne's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual, helping people feel heard and understood while they work out their next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then suggest a mix of methods. This is a collaborative process and she adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or chat works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options give flexibility for people balancing family, work and travel while keeping therapy consistent.
