About Joanne
Joanne Rachel Winsor is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Joanne also supports those coping with parenting pressures, low self-esteem and life changes.
Her practice combines different methods so sessions are shaped around each person's needs. She draws on client-centred work to build a trusting connection and uses solution-focused techniques to set practical, short-term goals.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused approaches guide work when past harm is affecting daily life. Joanne aims for a calm and respectful space where people can speak openly without judgement. She listens first, then helps clients decide what to try next.
That might mean changing habits, rehearsing new ways of talking, or planning small steps that feel achievable. She keeps her professional knowledge current through ongoing development and uses that learning to inform sessions. Joanne explains things plainly and checks in about what is and isn’t working as therapy progresses.
People come to her for a range of concerns such as panic attacks, grief, relationship strain, ADHD-related challenges, and recovery after abuse. Her way of working is practical and compassionate, with an emphasis on collaborating to find manageable changes that fit each person’s life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Joanne works from client-centred ideas that place the person’s experiences and choices at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on listening, understanding each person’s perspective, and building trust so people feel able to talk about what matters most.She also uses solution-focused methods which aim to identify small, practical steps forward. These techniques help when someone wants brief, goal-oriented work such as reducing panic, improving daily routines, or handling a specific problem at home or work.
Trauma-focused work is used when past hurt is affecting current life. That approach helps people name what happened, understand its effects, and try paced strategies to reduce distress and rebuild coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Joanne treats it as a joint decision. She will discuss different options, listen to your priorities, and adjust the plan as you try things and give feedback. That way the work stays relevant to your needs and goals.
Online therapy gives practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in, and live chat or text messaging suit quick updates or shorter check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and day-to-day routines.
