About Joanna

Joanna (Jo) Walker offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works in a trauma-informed, LGBT+ affirming way. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful of each persons pace and priorities.

Jo uses an integrative approach that draws on humanistic, psychodynamic and behavioural ideas. That means she will listen to your story, help you make sense of patterns, and then try small, do-able changes together.

Background and approach

She encourages clients to set clear goals and checks in regularly about how therapy is going. Her practice focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem, grief and coping with change. Jo also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, domestic violence concerns, self-harm and challenges around sexuality and womens issues.

She works with mood conditions including depression and bipolar, and with concerns linked to parenting and early adult life. Jo has four years of counselling and psychotherapy experience and offers sessions in English to people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

When someone starts with Jo they fill out a short matching questionnaire, then book sessions that suit their schedule. She aims to build a trusting working relationship and to help people find realistic ways to feel steadier and more in control.

How Jo uses talking therapies online

Jo draws on humanistic, psychodynamic and behavioural approaches to tailor online work. Humanistic work focuses on the persons experience and builds a warm, non-judgemental conversation to uncover what matters most. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice recurring patterns and how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships. Behavioural techniques look at small, practical steps someone can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the best way to work is a collaborative process. Jo will discuss your goals and preferences, and adapt her approach as you go. Together you will review progress regularly and change the plan if something is not helping or feels uncomfortable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different rhythms of life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or caring responsibilities while keeping continuity of support.
