About Joanna
Joanna Kay is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress and relationship worries. She invites clients into a warm, non-judgemental space and listens carefully to what matters most to them. Joanna focuses on practical goals and everyday coping strategies so people can find clearer steps forward.
She has three years of professional experience and has worked in charities, schools and personal mental health clinics.
Background and approach
That range means she has supported people from a variety of backgrounds and life situations. Joanna uses creative practices such as art, poetry and writing alongside talking work when that fits a client’s needs. In sessions she works collaboratively to set goals and pick techniques that feel useful.
She pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth. The aim is to build self-compassion, confidence and a clearer sense of direction. Joanna offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.
Weekly appointments are typical, with timing arranged to suit each person. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Practical matters are handled through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to a suitable therapist and schedule sessions that fit their lives.

Focus areas and approaches
What Joanna works with
Everything Joanna lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanna works collaboratively to assess a person's needs, goals and preferences and then chooses techniques that fit. She reviews what is working and adapts the plan so the client can make steady progress at a pace that feels right.
Online therapy gives flexibility and practical options for busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing their thoughts or want more frequent, brief contact between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, study or family routines.
