About Joanna
Joanna 'Jo' Biegala is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers a compassionate, honest space where people can talk through difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Jo aims to make counselling feel manageable and clear for those worried about depression, anxiety or life changes.
Jo uses an integrative approach that starts with building a trusting relationship. She draws on person-centred ways of working alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Background and approach
That mix lets her respond practically to what each person brings into the room. She has three years of experience working with adults who have complex mental health needs and with general wellbeing concerns such as anxiety, body image and depression. Jo also has experience supporting children and young people aged five to 18, though her primary work is with adults.
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try different coping strategies and set small, achievable goals. She invites clients to lead the pace and direction of therapy while offering structure when it is helpful. Jo is based in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Her style is warm and practical, aimed at helping people feel more confident managing stress, grief, low mood and relational worries.

Approaches Joanna lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jo will listen to your needs and goals and suggest ways of working that fit your situation. Decisions about methods are collaborative, and she adapts them as progress is made.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the same therapeutic approaches and goals.
