Clients often say they appreciate Joanne's down-to-earth manner and the absence of a power dynamic in sessions - she aims to move through difficulties alongside people in a comfortable, respectful way. Drawing on her own lived experience, she brings empathy and a commitment to understanding each person from their perspective, seeking to 'walk in their shoes' while remaining professionally supportive.

Person-centered and practical approaches for online therapy
Joanne uses client-centred therapy to place the client at the heart of the process - offering acceptance, empathetic listening, and support so individuals can explore their feelings and find their own direction. This approach is helpful for those working through grief, self-esteem issues, relationship concerns, or general life transitions.
She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT offers practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping skills, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Joanne treats this as a collaborative conversation. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy with Joanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without the need to travel, helping therapy to fit more naturally into busy lives.
