Joanne Saulter
Person-centred therapist using practical approaches
About Joanne
Joanne Saulter uses a person-centred, integrative approach to counselling. She combines practical listening with therapies that help people make sense of overwhelming feelings. Joanne aims to create a warm and respectful space where clients can talk at their own pace.
Joanne holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of experience working with adults and young people. Her practice pays attention to each person's values and life story rather than offering one fixed method.
Background and approach
She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, ADHD, bipolar challenges and difficulties with self-esteem. Additional areas Joanne attends to include body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and adoption and foster care issues.
Joanne can integrate a faith perspective when clients want that to be part of the work. She makes clear that faith is included only at the client's request and never imposed. Her background includes experience supporting adults with autism and unpaid carers.
Sessions focus on exploring what matters to the person and setting realistic steps forward. Joanne uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work and emotion-focused methods alongside client-centred listening. The aim is to help people find workable changes they can carry into daily life.

Practical therapy approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. It can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and collaboration to encourage self-understanding and change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and life situation. She will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the approach as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
