Joanne Ramshaw
Supportive counsellor using practical talking therapies
About Joanne
Joanne Ramshaw is a counsellor who uses practical talking therapies to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work to make sense of current struggles and find workable steps forward. Joanne holds BACP and NCPS credentials and practises from the United Kingdom.
Joanne focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. She helps people cope with grief and loss, life changes, health challenges and issues with motivation.
Background and approach
She also offers support for addictions, trauma and abuse, depression and parenting strains. Her way of working is warm and direct. Sessions aim to be practical - spotting unhelpful patterns, trying small experiments and building clearer choices.
Therapies include narrative techniques to reframe stories people tell about themselves and attachment-informed ideas to understand how relationships shape reactions. Joanne has five years of professional experience. That background includes work with a range of adult concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and communication or commitment problems.
She also addresses long-term conditions like chronic pain, illness and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and the service subscription model can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting led by them. It emphasises values-based action so people can take small steps that matter despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy offers a non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and the counsellor reflects and supports personal insight.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process can include mixing elements from different approaches to suit the issue at hand.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make contact easier to fit into everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat formats suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving or health demands and make it simpler to keep continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
