Background and approach

Joanne emphasises steady progress rather than quick fixes and works at a pace the client can handle. Her approach mixes talking therapies and practical techniques. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Mindfulness practices are offered to build attention and calm during stressful moments. Joanne also draws on attachment-based and Jungian ideas to explore relational patterns and deeper themes that influence identity and self-worth. These perspectives can be useful for people coping with grief, addictive behaviours, eating and sleeping issues, or difficulties with intimacy.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. Joanne has four years of professional experience and offers sessions in English to people in the UK and internationally. Practical session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

Approach-driven online therapy for anxiety and trauma

Joanne uses a mix of client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to support people online. Client-centred therapy means the conversation follows the client's pace and priorities, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and gentle reflection. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) introduces practical steps to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

She also brings attachment-based ideas into sessions to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences, and adapts the plan as the relationship progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper exploration, while phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around everyday life.
