About Joanne
Joanne Lindley is a counsellor who helps people manage depression, reduce anxiety, and work through grief and loss. She also supports those facing relationship strain, stress, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and life direction. Joanne speaks plainly and offers a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what matters most to them.
She brings seven years of clinical experience and is a BACP member. That background includes work in the NHS, where she supported people with a range of problems and life stages.
Background and approach
Joanne has particular experience with bereavement, relationship difficulties, and academic-related pressures. Her style is warm and person-focused. She listens first to understand each person's history and goals.
From there she works collaboratively to shape sessions that suit how someone learns and copes. Joanne uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, attachment-based thinking, emotionally-focused methods, and client-centred work are part of her toolkit.
She explains options clearly and helps people try practical strategies between sessions. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, with some evening and weekend times. Joanne encourages people to take a first step, say what they need, and together explore a way forward.

Online support
She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current difficulties. That perspective can help with relationship strain, intimacy issues, and feelings of abandonment or isolation. Joanne will talk with each person about which approaches feel most relevant and create a plan together rather than imposing a fixed method.
Online sessions can be more flexible than in-person meetings. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror many face-to-face rhythms. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, reflective exchanges, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around study, work or caring responsibilities, and to try different formats to see what helps most.
