About Joanne

Joanne Maddison is a BACP psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She has three years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Joanne also supports those facing career strain, parenting challenges and changes linked to pregnancy and motherhood.

Joanne uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's experience at the heart of sessions. She pays attention to how past events and current patterns shape day-to-day feelings and choices.

Background and approach

This helps clients spot repeating patterns and try different ways of relating to themselves and others. Her practice draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at early relationships and deeper emotional themes. These perspectives can be useful for understanding attachment, family of origin issues, abandonment and long-standing feelings of emptiness.

Joanne also incorporates mindfulness and somatic work to help people notice what their body is saying and develop calmer ways of responding to stress. That can be practical for sleep problems, anger, chronic illness coping and compassion fatigue. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs.

Joanne aims to listen without judgement, ask clear questions and help people set realistic steps forward. She meets clients in ways that suit them and focuses on steady, manageable change over time.

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.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Joanne draws on client-centred work to keep the focus on each person's view of their problems and priorities. This approach emphasises listening, empathy and working at the client’s pace to identify useful steps forward.

She also uses mindfulness therapy, which helps people notice thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. Mindfulness can be helpful for anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties. Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas are used to look at how past experiences and recurring themes influence current behaviour, which can aid understanding of attachment, family of origin patterns and long-term emotional struggles.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Joanne will discuss options and adapt her approach based on a client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at discovering what feels most helpful in practice.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, chat works well for quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
