Joanne Janvier

Joanne Janvier is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and 16 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, and a wide range of other concerns. Joanne offers practical support and coaching alongside therapeutic work to help people find clearer direction and more calm in daily life.

Her approach is warm and person-focused. She listens carefully and creates time for people to talk through what matters most. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and patterns that get in the way of change. Joanne aims to make sessions understandable and down-to-earth rather than full of jargon.

Joanne uses established methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to shape the work. She adapts these methods to the client’s needs, combining practical strategies with reflective exploration. Sessions often include goal-setting, coping skills and steps to try between meetings.

Her background includes many years helping people with career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar and depression, body image and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care challenges, caregiving strain, chronic illness and complex co-morbidity. Joanne will work collaboratively to prioritise what matters most to each person.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. The next step is to use the platform’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Joanne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help when life changes, motivation or self-worth are getting in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current trust and closeness; it can support work on intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel helpful. She will adapt tools and tasks to fit a person's goals, pace and preferences rather than using a single technique for everyone.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people trial different ways of working, such as practical skills-focused sessions or reflective conversations, until they find what helps most.
