Joanne Jones
Experienced trauma-informed counsellor focused on practical change
About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience supporting adults through difficult life stages. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on what each person wants to change. Joanne trained at Staffordshire University and holds postgraduate qualifications related to sexual violence advocacy and clinical supervision, which inform her work with trauma.
Joanne uses a person-centred backbone to her practice. That means she listens first and follows the person’s pace.
Background and approach
She blends this with solution-focused ideas to set practical goals and with attachment-informed thinking to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She has considerable experience in trauma work, including supporting people affected by sexual and domestic violence. That background influences how she approaches safety, pacing, and building trust in therapy.
Joanne also practises EMDR for clients who may benefit from trauma-focused methods. Sessions are conversational and practical. Joanne helps people identify small, doable steps to reduce stress, improve sleep, manage anxiety, or work through grief and relationship problems.
She also supports those dealing with issues such as addiction, body image, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative. Joanne aims to make therapy understandable and useful, not just theoretical.
People can expect a steady, respectful presence and help turning insights into workable changes.

How attachment and trauma-focused methods work online
Joanne draws on attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach focuses on connection patterns and helps people understand why they respond to stress or conflict in certain ways. She also uses trauma-focused methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Trauma-focused work aims to reduce the ongoing impact of past distress and to help people feel less triggered by memories or sensations. Finding the right approach is treated as a shared task. Joanne will talk through options, try approaches carefully, and adapt based on a client's needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions suit people with less bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, allow people to write through thoughts, and can fit around work or caring commitments. Together these options make it easier to maintain steady contact and to continue therapy when life is busy.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
