About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life challenges. She uses a warm, non-judgemental style to support clients who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation, relationships, grief or major life changes. Joanne also offers support for people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD and bipolar concerns.
With 16 years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Joanne combines practical tools with compassionate listening.
Background and approach
She aims to make the room feel calm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions centre on clear goals and small steps forward rather than jargon or lengthy theory. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment techniques to build values-led action.
Attachment-based and client-centred work inform how she explores relationship patterns and emotional needs. Joanne also uses dialectical skills to help with strong emotions and impulsive behaviours. Joanne supports people from diverse backgrounds, including those with concerns around sexuality, adoption and caregiving stress.
She pays attention to the everyday practicalities that make a difference - sleep, eating, parenting pressures and career strain. People can expect a collaborative process. Joanne listens first, then helps design manageable steps and coping strategies.
Her aim is to help people gain clearer thinking, steadier mood and better coping in daily life.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will listen to your concerns and discuss which methods might fit best. Together you will decide on goals and experiment with techniques, adjusting the plan as you learn what helps most. Online sessions make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats let people fit therapy around work, family and travel, while keeping the focus on practical skills, emotional understanding and steady progress.
