She works with adults and young people, and has experience offering one-to-one counselling and couple work.

Joanne describes her practice as person-centred with an integrative bent. She draws on attachment-focused ideas and solution-focused tools, and uses creative methods when helpful. Sessions are led by the person who attends, with practical discussion of problems and steps forward.
Her background includes work with survivors of sexual and domestic violence and a focus on trauma-informed ways of working. She also lists support around grief, addictions, body image, intimacy-related issues, parenting and career pressures. International clients can be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Joanne uses attachment-based ideas that focus on how relationships and early bonds affect current feelings and behaviour; this approach can help people who notice patterns in close relationships or who struggle with trust and connection. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, which involves structured steps to process traumatic memories and the distress they cause. Solution-focused therapy is part of her work too and aims to identify small, practical steps clients can try between sessions to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what the person wants to address, what has helped or not helped before, and agree on the methods to try. That conversation can include pacing, when to use EMDR elements, and practical exercises drawn from solution-focused work.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. Shorter check-ins can fit into a lunch break, and sessions without video can be used when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt attachment and trauma-focused techniques to remote sessions while working with the client to find a format that fits day-to-day life.
