About Joanne
Joanne Ramshaw is a counsellor who uses practical talking methods to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with those facing grief, low self-esteem, life transitions and motivation problems. Joanne holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Joanne prefers a straightforward, warm approach in sessions. She listens without judgement and focuses on what a person wants to change.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to make feelings easier to understand and to spot small, manageable steps forward. Her work draws on a mix of proven methods. Joanne uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and make choices that match them.
She also brings in cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to build coping skills. Attachment-based and narrative ideas help when past relationships affect how someone copes now. These approaches make it easier to untangle unhelpful patterns and to build better ways of relating to self and others over time.
Joanne offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She aims to fit therapy around each person’s life and pace. To start, a short questionnaire is used to match people and then sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Practical therapy approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose small actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviours to reduce distress and build coping skills. It often helps with low mood, anxiety and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful when relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment issues affect daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will listen to your concerns and suggest which methods might fit best. She works collaboratively, adjusting the focus as goals change and as you learn what helps in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in and live chat or messaging suit shorter or more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and to continue support even when routines change.
