Joanne Brooks
Support for stress, trauma and relationships
About Joanne
Joanne Brooks helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and addictive behaviours. She also supports those coping with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and people facing parenting, career or life-change challenges. Joanne uses a straightforward, caring approach so conversations are easier to begin.
Joanne creates a relaxed space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. She aims to listen closely and reflect what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what feels useful right now and on small steps that can bring relief. Her work draws on client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means Joanne follows the pace and priorities of the person she is meeting, rather than imposing a fixed plan.
This approach can be helpful for issues like trauma, relationship concerns and low self-worth. Joanne has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions remotely in English to people based in the United Kingdom.
International clients are not currently accepted. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, letting people choose what fits their life. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are paid via a cancellable subscription.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred care and online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely and reflects back what she hears, helping people feel understood and able to explore difficult feelings. This approach is often used for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and coping with loss.The sessions Joanne offers are guided by the person who attends. She works collaboratively to identify goals and then chooses ways of working that fit what the person needs. Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be adjusted as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments. Video calls let you see facial cues and body language, phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins during a break, and messaging works well when you prefer not to be on camera. These options make it straightforward to keep sessions regular and consistent while matching the format to your day-to-day needs.
