Background and approach

She has also worked with an employee assistance provider offering short-term counselling for a range of life challenges. Joanne has experience as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor and holds a postgraduate certificate in advocacy for victims of sexual violence. Joanne’s main therapeutic foundation is person-centred counselling, and she uses that as a base for an integrative approach.

She commonly draws on solution-focused ideas and attachment-based thinking to help people look at relationships and coping patterns. She also practises trauma-focused work and uses eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, often alongside other approaches. In sessions she aims to follow the person’s lead and build clear professional boundaries.

Her style is practical and collaborative - talking through current problems, identifying small steps, and reviewing what helps. People often come with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, or the after-effects of abuse. Joanne offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from overseas, and works within the BACP ethical framework.

How Joanne’s approaches work online

Joanne uses person-centred and attachment-based ideas to create a steadier understanding of relationships and coping. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathic reflection, and helping the client identify their own solutions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect stress and intimacy.

She also uses eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, often called EMDR, as part of trauma-focused work. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories by guiding attention while recalling difficult events, which many people find helpful after abuse or other traumatic experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the plan as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support short updates or reflective exchanges between appointments. These options help fit therapy around work, travel, or other commitments while keeping the therapeutic process consistent.
