Ways of working Joanne names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Joanne’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small meaningful steps towards them, which suits issues like anxiety, stress and life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for low mood, panic and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, helping with intimacy, trust and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is usually a shared process. Joanne will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Over a few sessions she and the client review what helps and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit around work or family life. Video allows face-to-face contact when that matters, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be quicker to arrange, and live chat or messaging can work well for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
