About Joanne
Joanne McKenzie is a therapeutic counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She holds the NCPS credential and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Joanne aims to make starting therapy less daunting by offering steady support and a non-judgemental space to talk.
She helps people facing stress and anxiety and supports those dealing with relationship concerns and challenges linked to depression. She also assists people affected by domestic abuse, issues around self esteem and confidence, and matters related to LGBT identity.
Background and approach
Joanne listens first and follows the person’s pace. She encourages clear, honest conversation and helps clients name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as on understanding feelings in the moment.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas alongside mindfulness practices. These approaches are used flexibly to help with day-to-day coping, developing new ways of thinking, and finding short-term goals. Joanne offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their routine.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling, which helps shape early sessions and goals.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Joanne discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and together they try methods that match the person’s needs. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the client prefers, keeping the pace gentle and collaborative.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have low bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, day-to-day coping prompts, or when someone needs a flexible way to keep working between sessions. These options aim to make counselling easier to fit into busy lives and varied routines.
