Background and approach
Her approach keeps things practical and grounded in day-to-day life. She draws on several therapeutic methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas. Those approaches offer tools for emotion regulation, improving relationships and finding greater clarity about values and choices.
Joanne has five years of practice experience and uses that to support people dealing with trauma, grief, depression, ADHD and a wide range of other concerns. She has worked extensively with carers and with adults on the autism spectrum. Joanne is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Her sessions aim to be non-judgemental, respectful and tailored to individual values and beliefs.
Using person-centred and evidence-informed approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take steps that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and managing life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect present relationships and emotion regulation, helping people build safer ways of relating and responding. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where the person leads the pace and content of sessions, and this can help people feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Joanne works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt techniques so they fit the practical realities of home life, parenting duties or work commitments.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or who want brief, frequent contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around busy days and caring responsibilities.
