About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience working with adults and young people. She trained at Staffordshire University and has built a practice focused on trauma, relationship strain and everyday mental health challenges. Joanne brings a straightforward, person-centred way of working that aims to put people at ease from the first session.

She has provided immediate support counselling through an employee assistance programme and worked on a local mental health helpline. Joanne also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Advocacy for Victims of Sexual Violence and has experience supporting people through the criminal justice system as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor.
Joanne uses an integrative approach that draws on person-centred principles, attachment ideas and solution-focused techniques. She also practises trauma-focused methods and is trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, which she uses with people who have distressing memories and ongoing trauma reactions. Sessions are led by the person attending and shaped around their priorities.
People come to Joanne for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, sleeping difficulties and challenges linked to identity or sexuality. She aims to create clear boundaries and a steady structure so people can feel safe to talk and try new ways of coping.
Joanne works from the United Kingdom and offers support in English. She combines practical conversation with reflective listening so people can identify small, manageable steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It uses reflective conversation to help people notice how they relate to others and find different ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, offering non-judgemental listening and space to make sense of feelings and choices. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories in a structured way and can reduce the intensity of those memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and try different ways of working together. Decision-making is collaborative and shaped by the person's needs, goals and preferences rather than fixed from the start.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as fitting a brief check-in during a work break or joining a session without travel time. It also offers flexibility if someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option - please confirm the session formats offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals adapt these approaches to remote sessions so practical therapy can continue across locations.
