About Joanna
Joanna Walsh is a counsellor with three years of professional experience. She offers a calm, patient presence for people feeling overwhelmed by loss, trauma, low mood or a sense of disconnection. Joanna works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress and difficulties stemming from past abuse or complicated grief.
Her style is warm and person-focused. She blends talking therapy with creative, art-based methods when words are hard to find. Sessions aim to gently uncover coping patterns and test new ways of responding that feel manageable and meaningful.
Background and approach
Joanna supports people adjusting to neurodiversity-related questions, including autism or ADHD, and helps carers facing prolonged stress. She also helps those coping with chronic pain, postpartum changes, sexual trauma and life-purpose concerns. Her approach draws on client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic thinking and trauma-focused work to make sense of present struggles.
Joanna uses simple, practical tools alongside reflective conversation so people can try different responses between sessions. Based in the United Kingdom and working in English, she offers therapy for a wide range of life transitions including career change, parenting strain and midlife crisis. Joanna aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space so people can explore what they need at their own pace.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and practical strategies to try new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems.
Joanna will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. She discusses goals, preferences and life circumstances and adjusts methods as the therapy progresses so the work fits the client's needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and develop rapport. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when being on camera is tiring. Live chat or text-based messaging is helpful for quick check-ins, short reflections, or when someone prefers written expression. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health challenges and allow consistent continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
