About Joanna
Joanna Markvoort-Weijters is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, career worries and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Dutch.
Joanna works from the view that each person knows their life best. She helps people talk through what is happening and spot strengths they can use. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that developed in close relationships. She uses Client-Centred Therapy methods to follow the client's lead and keep the focus on their priorities. Existential Therapy ideas are used when people need to talk about meaning, choice and the uncertainty of change.
Joanna has worked with a wide range of issues, including grief, addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to adoption and caregiver stress. She also helps people facing anger, loneliness, illness and life transitions.
Practical concerns are often part of sessions, such as planning next steps at work or managing daily routines. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button. Payment uses a cancellable subscription that varies with location.
Approach and online session details
Joanna integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and existential ideas into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present behaviour and feelings, which can help with anxiety and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, useful for building confidence and addressing self-esteem concerns. Existential Therapy examines questions of choice, responsibility and meaning, which can help when people face life transitions or career doubts.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Joanna will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest what to try first. Together you will review how the approach is working and adjust it over time so sessions remain relevant to your needs.
