About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on sleep and rest alongside a wide range of emotional concerns. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Joanne also supports those facing life changes, grief, parenting strains, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. She holds BACP as a credential and brings 16 years of experience to her work.
Joanne aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps clients notice patterns that affect sleep, mood and daily functioning. Her style is calm and collaborative, and she encourages simple steps people can try between meetings. She avoids jargon and keeps conversations focused on what matters to each person.
Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive tools to change unhelpful thought habits. Joanne also uses attachment-based thinking to understand how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Dialectical and client-centred methods influence her work too, so sessions balance acceptance with active skill-building.
Joanne has experience with issues linked to chronic health, caregiving stress, addiction, ADHD and compassion fatigue, among other concerns. She will work with the things people bring that interfere with rest and daily life, and she pays attention to how sleep difficulties and emotional challenges interact.
People who want to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. The process aims to help clients find a practical path toward better rest, steadier mood and clearer priorities.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and gently refocus on actions that matter to them. It can be useful for sleep problems that come from worry or rumination, and for settling goals that support better rest. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets thought and behaviour patterns with practical tasks and experiments. CBT often includes strategies for sleep routines, breaking late-night thinking habits and changing behaviours that keep poor sleep going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, then suggest which ideas to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule a session during a work break or between appointments. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions, using guided practices, structured worksheets and short behavioural tasks to support sleep and emotional goals.
