About Joanne
Joanne (Jo) Warren is a counsellor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or low. She aims to offer calm, practical support so people can make sense of their feelings and find a way forward. Jo speaks plainly and listens from the client’s point of view to help uncover options and next steps.
Jo uses a mix of talking approaches and structured techniques. Sessions focus on what the person brings and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She pays attention to relationships, stress, sleep and eating concerns as well as mood and addictive behaviours. Jo has twelve years of experience in counselling and is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs her general way of working and her commitment to steady, respectful support.
Her approach can include client-centred listening, cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thought patterns, mindfulness practices to steady attention, and longer trauma-focused work when needed. Hypnotherapy may be suggested where appropriate as an adjunct to talking therapy. Sessions are intended to be collaborative.
Jo will work with each person to set aims and try manageable changes. People often use the time to talk through relationship strain, grief, parenting pressure, work stress or recovery from past hurt.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward exercises to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often involves setting small tasks between sessions to improve sleep, reduce worry or tackle avoidance linked to anxiety and depression.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that works with distressing memories and their ongoing impact. Where appropriate, elements of EMDR can be included to help people reduce the intensity of past hurt and its effects on current mood and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process can change over time as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text are helpful for short check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make accessing therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
