About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a counsellor who helps people managing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She supports those facing life changes, burnout, compassion fatigue and professional coaching needs. Her work also covers addiction, grief, sleeping and eating concerns, ADHD and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar challenges.
Joanne draws on 16 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental space where someone can speak openly about thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Joanne aims to guide rather than direct, helping each person find steps that feel achievable. Her approach mixes practical techniques and reflective conversation. Joanne uses methods from cognitive behavioural work to spot unhelpful thinking.
She also uses acceptance-based ideas to reduce struggle with difficult emotions and attachment-informed ways to look at relationship patterns. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs that week. Some weeks are skills-focused, other weeks look at past experiences or immediate problems.
Joanne offers coaching-style support for career and motivation alongside therapeutic work for trauma, anxiety and relationship wounds. People can expect calm, straightforward conversation and clear tools to try between sessions. Joanne works with adults and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
How Joanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and getting unstuck when life changes feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, then practising small changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, sleep and mood difficulties and gives clear exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their goals and circumstances, and she adapts the plan over time as needs change.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone is useful when less bandwidth is available, and messaging gives a quicker, flexible check-in during busy weeks. These options let people fit therapy around work, travel or caring responsibilities and make it easier to keep regular contact with a therapist.
