Background and approach

Joanna has 12 years of experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked in NHS mental health services and continues to blend different methods to suit each person. This gives her a flexible way of responding to varied concerns.

She uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods. That mix means sessions can include practical skills, emotional processing and attention to how relationships shape current difficulties. Online formats are part of Joanna’s practice, with experience in video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Joanna is based in the United Kingdom and works in English, and she accepts international clients.

How Joanna’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being guided by them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying out new behaviours and can help with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That might mean using skills practice from CBT, values-based work from ACT, or a conversation-focused client-centred way of exploring feelings and relationships.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short check-in into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need shorter exchanges, or want to reflect between messages. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel while still working with experienced registered professionals.
