About Joanne
Joanne Brooks is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people struggling with depression, stress and anxiety. She also helps with relationship problems, family tensions, grief, trauma and issues with self‑esteem. Joanne has three years of professional experience and works in English.
Joanne aims to make sessions feel straightforward and calm. She focuses on listening closely and helping people say what matters to them. Her approach is warm and non‑judgemental so people can talk about difficult thoughts and memories without feeling rushed.
Background and approach
In sessions she encourages people to notice patterns in their thinking and behaviour. Conversations tend to be practical and grounded. Joanne works with each person to set simple, realistic goals and to try small changes between meetings.
She uses client‑centred therapy, which places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. That means Joanne follows the pace the person prefers and reflects back what she hears to help clarify feelings and choices. This style suits issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain.
Joanne offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Fees vary with location and session type and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Approaches Joanne 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
Joanne prioritises a warm, non‑judgemental stance in sessions. She works collaboratively to find what helps most, whether that means talking through patterns of thinking, setting small practical goals, or trying short exercises between meetings. Finding the right way of working is a process and she will check in as work progresses to adjust the approach together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check‑in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter, more frequent check‑ins or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
