About Joanne
She trained at Derby University, gaining an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background means she draws on humanistic, person-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural ways of working. In sessions she will offer both open conversation and more structured tasks when that better suits a person’s needs.
Joanne often helps people who feel stuck after a life change, or who want clearer ways to cope with worry and low mood. She also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, communication and commitment issues, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress.
Her style involves talking through what matters to the client and testing practical steps that can reduce distress. Some people lead sessions and set the agenda, while others try focused, cognitive and behavioural techniques to build different responses. Joanne aims to help people notice how they respond to situations and to practise new ways of coping.
Sessions are conducted in English and Joanne does not take international clients. Information about how sessions are arranged and how the subscription works is provided when you follow the site booking steps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Joanne commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural methods in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape how someone connects and responds today, and can help with relationship and abandonment concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on recognising unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest a way forward. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as sessions progress so methods match what a person needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and offer quicker check-ins when needed. Different ways of meeting also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or use a shorter contact when that helps maintain momentum.
