She completed a Diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling in 2023. Joanne gained practical experience at a community counselling service in south-east London where she worked with anxiety, depression, family conflict and trauma.
Background and approach
She also volunteers at a bereavement charity and has experience supporting grief and loss. Joanne values trust and approachability in her work. Sessions focus on listening first, then gently exploring what might be getting in the way.
She helps people notice patterns, develop understanding of themselves and build small steps of change.

Joanne also offers help around issues such as ADHD, chronic illness, isolation and self-harm where appropriate.
Joanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and works with people across the United Kingdom. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at giving clients more choices going forward.

Approaches Joanne lists

Online support
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the effects of past harm and helps people reduce its grip on daily life. It involves careful, paced conversations and techniques to process difficult memories and manage their impact, useful for trauma, abuse and panic-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which ways of working might help most. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as things progress.
Online appointments are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat enables quicker check-ins and texting suits people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while still getting regular support from a registered BACP counsellor.
