Background and approach
Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to emotions, thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. Her way of working draws on Attachment-Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred practice alongside Jungian and Mindfulness influences. That means she pays attention to early relationship patterns, the thoughts that shape day-to-day life and the personal meaning behind difficult feelings.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people stay present and manage overwhelming emotions. Joanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years' clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
Her background focuses on trauma, attachment and inner child recovery, with practical work aimed at rebuilding self-trust and safety. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Joanne aims to help people understand what is happening and to build simple tools for coping and change.
She encourages steady steps and clearer communication as part of recovery.

Approaches and how online therapy can help
Joanne draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people understand why they feel unsafe or disconnected and supports rebuilding trust in relationships.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and practical coping skills that can be used between sessions.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Joanne will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and together decide which approaches to try. That collaborative process means therapy is adapted as goals and challenges become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when convenient, phone sessions can be quicker or need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit support around work, family life and other commitments.
