About Joanne

Joanne Perkins is a counsellor with five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to make it easier to talk about stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Joanne focuses on practical steps you can use day to day and listens closely to what matters to you.

Joanne uses conversational, person-centred ways of working to build trust. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and sets simple goals together.

Background and approach

Short-term strategies are used alongside deeper exploration when that feels right. Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small changes that bring quick relief.

These methods are selected to suit the problem you bring and your personal preferences. Joanne has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including relationships, family problems, grief, addiction, sleep difficulties, and life changes such as divorce or career shifts. She also addresses issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and impulse control in straightforward language.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Joanne works within the UK and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is listed as BACP. She aims to make starting therapy simple and practical.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Joanne combines practical methods to help with everyday problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement, allowing you to set the pace and topics in sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers straightforward tools to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, realistic steps that lead to quick improvements. Together these approaches mean the work can be short-term focused or deeper depending on your goals. Joanne will work with you to decide which mix seems most helpful based on your needs, aims and personal style - it is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs. Video lets you use visual cues for richer conversation, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits people who prefer typing, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can work in the way that best fits your routine and comfort.
