Background and approach

This helps people feel heard and clearer about next steps. Joanne also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that can change day-to-day patterns. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want shorter-term practical steps to reach specific goals.

Together these methods aim to reduce anxiety, lift low mood and build confidence. Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression, including coping with life changes, relationship and family pressures, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, addiction-related issues and career stress.

Joanne pays attention to issues such as attachment, body image and caregiver strain when they come up in sessions. Joanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers appointments by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging and will shape the plan to fit what each person needs and prefers.

How Joanne’s approaches work online

Joanne combines client-centred listening with practical tools so online sessions focus on what matters to the person. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation is guided by the client's priorities and experiences, helping them feel understood and clearer about what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions can help spot patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and test small changes that make daily life easier. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on steps that move someone toward a specific goal, which can be useful for short-term issues and practical problems.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Joanne will listen to a person's situation, discuss possible methods and adjust the plan as work progresses. The choice of approach can change over time as needs and goals evolve.

Online working offers practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual contact for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be calmer and need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caregiving or busy schedules, while keeping continuity between appointments.
