About Joanne
Joanne Pollard is a counsellor who blends talking therapies with an interest in physical wellbeing. She works to understand each person’s situation and offers practical, down-to-earth support. Joanne holds BACP registration and practises from the United Kingdom, using her combined background to look at mental health alongside lifestyle factors.
She describes her style as person-centred, which means conversations focus on what matters most to the client. Sessions aim to be calm and non-judgemental so people can speak openly about worries.
Background and approach
Joanne listens for patterns in relationships, work and daily routines that can be adjusted to reduce stress and improve coping. Her previous work in nutrition informs how she talks about sleep, eating and energy. She can help connect those daily habits with mood, motivation and resilience.
This does not replace medical advice but adds another angle when practical routines are part of the problem. Joanne helps with relationship strain, grief, compassion fatigue and big life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and workplace pressure.
Conversations are tailored so goals are realistic and manageable. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which suits people with busy lives or variable schedules. Joanne works with international clients and aims to match her approach to each person’s needs and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Joanne uses evidence-based, person-centred work that focuses on the client’s own goals and lived experience. This approach helps people talk through relationship patterns, grief and life transitions by placing their priorities at the heart of each session.She also brings practical lifestyle thinking into sessions, helping clients notice links between sleep, eating and mood. Discussing small routine changes can reduce stress and improve daily energy, which often makes emotional work feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanne will listen, suggest possible techniques, and agree a way forward together. The choice of tools and pace is adapted to the client’s needs, goals and preferences so work stays relevant and achievable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for visual connection and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who find typing helps them organise thoughts. These options add flexibility for people balancing work, family or irregular hours.
