About Joanne
Joanne Maddison is a BACP psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on three years of clinical experience to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Joanne often supports clients facing career pressures, parenting challenges and problems with sleeping. She aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can begin to sort out what feels overwhelming.
Joanne uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s needs and choices at the heart of sessions. She also brings in psychodynamic ideas and mindfulness to look at patterns from the past and present. This helps clients understand how earlier experiences affect current feelings and behaviours.
Her background in healthcare shapes how she notices practical life changes, including those that happen around pregnancy and early parenthood. Joanne adapts conversations and plans to match each person’s situation, for example when anxiety or grief is a main concern. She focuses on small, realistic steps that make daily life easier.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Joanne listens, reflects, and introduces techniques from somatic and Jungian therapy when they suit the client’s goals. The aim is to build coping skills, improve sleep patterns, and restore a greater sense of balance.
People who choose Joanne can expect straightforward language and a supportive approach. She encourages clients to set the agenda and to work at a pace they feel able to manage.
How Joanne’s approaches can work online
Joanne uses client-centred therapy and mindfulness alongside psychodynamic thinking to help people understand their feelings and change daily habits. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and feelings, and suits issues like stress, low mood and parenting strain. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve sleep. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences shape current reactions and can help when patterns repeat.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will talk through goals, listen to what matters most, and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as understanding grows.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as fitting a short session around other commitments or avoiding travel time. It can also allow for different styles of check-in, for example quieter telephone conversations or guided mindfulness practices that do not require video. Ask about the practical choices when you book so sessions match your circumstances and daily routine.
