About Joanne
Joanne Carter is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety and stress. She supports those recovering from trauma and domestic abuse and people struggling with low self-esteem or loss of motivation. Joanne aims to make the therapy space calm and non-judgemental so clients can talk honestly about difficult feelings.
She focuses on attachment and inner child themes to understand how past relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions often explore how early experiences affect trust, boundaries and emotional responses. Joanne also draws on mindfulness and cognitive techniques to help people manage distressing thoughts and emotions in the moment. Joanne uses a client-centred attitude, meaning the person’s goals lead the work and pace.
She pays attention to the whole person and encourages practical steps between sessions. The work can include talking, noticing patterns, and learning simple skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Her background includes four years of practice and professional recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That registration reflects adherence to a professional framework and ethical standards in the UK. People often come to Joanne for help with relationships, addictions, grief, sleep and eating issues, as well as identity and intimacy concerns. She accepts international clients and runs sessions online by video, phone, chat or messaging to suit different needs.

Online support
She also uses client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s goals at the centre and follows their lead. That style focuses on being heard and understood while exploring choices and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work rather than a single decision. Joanne will discuss options with each person and try methods that suit their needs, goals and comfort level. She adapts the mix of talking, reflection and practical techniques in collaboration with clients.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual contact helps connection, while phone calls can fit short check-ins or days with low bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed exchanges or want to work in brief slots across the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
