Joanna Markvoort-Weijters, BACP

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people who notice repeated relationship problems or who struggle with trust and closeness. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and follows the client’s pace, which suits people who want a supportive space to talk and decide on next steps. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and values and can help when someone faces big life transitions or questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanna will collaborate with each client to identify what feels most useful, combining elements from different approaches when that best fits the person’s goals and preferences. She encourages clients to feed back about what helps and to try practical steps between sessions.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations, while phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These formats add flexibility, making it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments, and they allow people to continue therapy when travel or schedules are difficult.
