About Joanna
Joanna (Jo) Walker offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people struggling with depression and related concerns. She introduces herself plainly and listens first, helping clients clarify what they want from therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps and gentle reflection rather than labels or pressure.
Jo is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP. She works in a trauma-informed way and affirms LGBT identities.
Background and approach
Jo describes her approach as integrative, drawing on humanistic, psychodynamic and behavioural ideas to suit each person’s needs. In sessions she encourages clients to notice their strengths and the small changes that add up. Conversations are used to make sense of feelings, unpick patterns that get in the way, and try new ways of coping.
She checks in regularly so the work stays relevant and useful. Jo places emphasis on collaboration. Goals are agreed together and reviewed as progress is made or life shifts.
This keeps the therapy flexible and tailored to what feels most helpful at the time. People come to Jo for a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, addictions, and experiences of trauma or domestic violence. She also supports people through life changes, parenting strain, work problems and identity questions.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss different ways of working and decide together what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and methods may shift as goals change or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth or time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, scheduled check-ins or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on steady, achievable progress.
