Joanne Janvier
Compassionate practical therapy and coaching
About Joanne
Joanne Janvier helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She supports those coping with grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, addiction, mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar, and challenges around sleep, eating and attention. Joanne also works with career and coaching needs, compassion fatigue, parenting strain and a wide range of identity and attachment issues.
Joanne uses a direct but warm style in sessions.
Background and approach
She aims to make conversations straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on small steps that fit everyday life. Her approach blends several methods to suit different needs.
Joanne draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values. She uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking and create new routines. Attachment-informed thinking helps when relationships and early patterns shape current behaviour.
Joanne has been practising for 16 years and holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background informs her work and how she plans sessions with people. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person.
Joanne aims to help people find clearer thinking, steadier mood and choices that feel more manageable. She supports people through short-term goals and longer changes, depending on what they need. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.
Joanne accepts international clients and speaks English.

Approaches to change and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers clear strategies for changing patterns that contribute to worry, sleep problems or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk through the options with each person and tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to emphasise values work, thinking skills or attachment themes over time.
Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections or people who prefer not to use audio or video. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel and other commitments.
