About Joanne
She completed a Diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling in 2023 and practised as a trainee at a low-cost community counselling service in south-east London. That placement gave her hands-on experience with clients facing trauma, abuse, and ongoing emotional distress.
Joanne also volunteers at a bereavement charity, where she has supported people dealing with loss and the practical shock that follows bereavement. That work informs how she supports grief alongside other difficulties, such as relationship problems and parenting strain.
Her main ways of working are client-centred therapy and trauma-focused therapy. In practice this means listening closely, adapting to each person’s pace, and using trauma-focused techniques when past events are affecting current life.
People who come to Joanne often want clearer self-understanding and more choices in how they respond to stress. She focuses on trusted, steady conversations that aim to build insight and practical coping strategies. Her approach is simple and grounded in everyday language.

How client-centred and trauma-focused work translates to online therapy
Client-centred therapy is about listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers. It focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, and helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries.Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on how past events affect feelings and behaviour today. It uses careful, paced work to help reduce the hold of distressing memories and improve coping with triggers.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Joanne will work collaboratively to find what fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the way she works as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue support while managing work, family and other commitments.
