About Joanne
Joanne Brooks is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who face stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. Her practice is aimed at helping clients find practical ways to manage difficult feelings and situations.
Joanne uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and reflecting. Sessions are led by the client’s concerns and pace. She aims to make discussions straightforward and down-to-earth so people can talk about what matters most to them.
In sessions she encourages clear thinking about what is causing distress and what small steps might help. Conversations often include looking at patterns in relationships, coping strategies for anxiety, and ways to manage grief or trauma responses. The emphasis is on what the client notices and wants to try next.
She also works with issues such as self-esteem, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, and career pressures. Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, and dissociation. These concerns are discussed openly and practically in the room.
Joanne asks clients to be active in planning goals and next steps. She offers straightforward feedback and helps people evaluate what works for them. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Client-centred approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places attention on the person’s experience in the moment. The therapist listens, reflects and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, stress, relationship concerns and grief because it keeps the focus on what the person notices and wants to change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore what feels most useful and will adapt sessions based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape the plan and the pace.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend after work or between commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking to ensure they match your needs. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online appointments that help people keep therapy manageable alongside everyday life.
