About Joanne

Joanne Lindley is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and issues with self-esteem. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. Joanne is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has seven years' experience in the United Kingdom.

She uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to understand what is worrying you. Joanne draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural methods and client-centred listening.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify patterns that maintain distress and to try practical steps that can change them. Her background includes work within the NHS where she saw people from many walks of life and different age groups. She has training in psychotherapy, CBT and person-centred approaches for depression, and offers additional support around bereavement and relationship concerns.

She also has experience supporting academics and students and is a qualified pet bereavement counsellor. Initial meetings focus on what you want to change and how Joanne can help you get there. She offers flexible times, including evenings and weekends, to fit around work or study.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Joanne welcomes honest, open conversations and works at a steady pace. If you are ready to explore the next step, she will help you map out practical ways to move forward.

How Joanne's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and to change ways of connecting that cause pain. Client-centred counselling centres on listening without judgement and helping you find your own solutions through empathic conversation. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and use simple experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Joanne will discuss your aims and try different ways of working to find what fits best. That process is collaborative, with regular check-ins so the plan can be changed if something is not helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and body language, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins and for people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care around work, study and family commitments.
