About Joanne
Joanne Maddison is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and career difficulties. Her approach is grounded and straightforward, aimed at helping people make small, realistic changes that improve day-to-day life.
Joanne draws on psychodynamic ideas and Jungian thinking to look at how past experiences affect current patterns. She also uses client-centred and mindfulness practices to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person so conversation and practical techniques fit together. Her background in healthcare informs how she supports people through life transitions. She has an interest in the changes that come with pregnancy and motherhood and offers a calm, respectful space for those concerns.
Joanne aims to be sensitive to each person's history and current pressures. In sessions she will listen, reflect, and suggest simple strategies you can use between meetings. That might include short mindfulness exercises, exploring relationship patterns, or mapping out small steps toward a work goal.
The emphasis is on realistic, manageable change. Joanne has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She offers a compassionate, non-judgemental way of working and tailors each conversation to the individual’s needs and aims.

Approaches Joanne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach straightforward attention and breathing exercises. These are short practices that reduce tension and help with sleep, stress and emotional overwhelm. Mindfulness can be done during a video call or as brief audio or text exercises between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will discuss different ways of working and decide with each person which methods to use based on goals, preferences and how they respond. This is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, written reflections or when someone prefers not to use voice or video. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family and practical commitments.
