About Joanne
Joanne Kevan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, lack of motivation and life transitions. Her approach aims to create a space where clients can speak freely and feel heard.
Joanne uses an integrative counselling style that draws on different evidence-based techniques. She aims to work holistically, looking at thoughts, feelings and behaviours to find what sits at the core of a problem.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past experiences continue to affect day-to-day life. She has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership indicates adherence to a recognised professional framework in the UK.
Joanne works with people to build coping skills for issues such as grief, anger, sleep problems and parenting stress. In sessions she prioritises emotional safety and non-judgement. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with space for reflection and concrete strategies when useful.
The aim is to move from understanding towards calmer, more manageable daily routines. Joanne encourages anyone taking the first step to reach out, recognising it can feel daunting. She collaborates with clients to set goals and to review progress, adjusting her methods to match each person’s needs and preferences.
How Joanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Joanne works in an integrative counselling style that combines practical techniques with reflective conversation. That can include short-term strategies to manage anxiety symptoms and gentler, exploratory work to look at how past events affect current reactions. These methods help with day-to-day coping and with understanding deeper patterns.She also draws on approaches aimed at improving emotional regulation and building coping skills. These techniques focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses in small, manageable steps. They are often helpful for stress, sleep problems and low mood, and can be practised between sessions to build resilience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will talk through options with each person and agree on practical goals and techniques that suit their needs and preferences. The focus is collaborative - trying methods, reviewing progress and adjusting the plan if something is not helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when greater nuance is helpful, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and varying schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
