About Joanna
She aims for a warm, interactive style in sessions. Joanna listens carefully and adapts her approach to the person in front of her. She avoids labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity.
Her background includes work within NHS mental health services. Over time she moved into a therapeutic role that uses a mix of methods so each plan fits the person's needs. Joanna describes herself as an integral therapist and draws on several approaches when appropriate.
Joanna uses practical conversations and varied therapeutic tools. Sessions can include thinking about patterns, working on emotions, and trying small changes in everyday life. She focuses on clear, real steps rather than medical or technical language.
She has been offering therapy online in recent years and is comfortable with telephone, email and video contact. Joanna encourages anyone who is unsure to reach out and begin with an initial matching and scheduling step.

Step 3
How Joanna’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them rule daily life, then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in close relationships and can help people understand and shift difficult emotional cycles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanna explores goals, preferences and practical needs together with each person and tailors methods accordingly. This collaborative process means the therapy can change as needs evolve.
The therapist's biography mentions experience with telephone, email and video counselling, but readers should confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. Joanna uses online methods to offer continuity and flexibility while helping people practise techniques between meetings.
