About Joanna

Joanna Markvoort-Weijters is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, career worries and depression. She also helps with addictions, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood concerns and coping with life changes. Joanna works in English and Dutch.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Joanna believes the person who knows their life best is the person sitting across from her.

Background and approach

She listens without judgement and helps people notice the strengths they already have. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

She uses client-centred methods that put the person's experience at the heart of the work. Existential therapy is used to help people find meaning and make choices that fit their values. Joanna has around 11 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns.

She aims to make the first steps less daunting and to work at a pace that feels manageable. Practical tools and gentle reflection are mixed so conversations lead to real changes. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk.

Joanna encourages clear goals and regular review so work stays relevant. She supports people through both short-term problem solving and longer personal changes.

How Joanna's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to notice recurring habits in relationships and try new responses that feel safer and more connected. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and pace, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection rather than direction; this helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk things through. Existential therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, choice and responsibility and can be useful when navigating life changes or identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanna collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and personal preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the way she works as therapy progresses so it stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes counselling easier to fit around work, family or travel. Video lets people use visual contact for deeper connection, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be simpler to arrange, while live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing helps to express thoughts. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on steady therapeutic progress.
