Joanne Ramshaw

Joanne Ramshaw is a counsellor who uses warm, honest, and non-judgemental support to help people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with grief and loss, low self-esteem and motivation, and common life changes that feel overwhelming. Joanne has five years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Her approach blends practical and reflective methods. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and focus on valued action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns that keep problems going and to test small changes. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas shape how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns. Joanne also draws on narrative therapy when people want to make sense of painful events or shift the story they tell about themselves. She works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, chronic health challenges and major life transitions. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, abandonment, ageing and carer stress. Sessions are practical and conversational. Joanne aims to identify small, manageable steps and to help people practise new ways of coping between meetings. She writes straightforward plans rather than technical reports. People seeking help start by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are delivered in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Joanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and reconnect with what matters in life. ACT supports people managing anxiety, stress and low motivation by focusing on values and small, achievable actions.

She also integrates Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to build trust and explore relationship patterns. These approaches help when past connections affect current relationships or when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to talk things through.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. Together they will test what helps and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy 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 suit people who prefer sitting in a familiar room while talking through problems. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care when work or family commitments make regular in-person visits difficult.
