Joanne Breslin uses a person-centred approach to make therapy straightforward and human. She keeps sessions down to earth and meets people where they are. Joanne explains things plainly and focuses on what matters most to each person.

She aims to reduce overwhelm and help people feel able to talk about difficult things. Joanne draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape practical sessions. She listens first, then helps people try small changes that can make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Sessions can include talking through feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and finding steps to move forward. Her background includes four years working in counselling and practice under the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has shaped a calm, empathetic style that values straightforward conversation and mutual respect.

Joanne aims to build a working relationship where people feel heard and understood. People come to Joanne for many reasons, such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, issues with self-esteem, relationship concerns and challenges around parenting, work or life changes. She also offers support for addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and long-term health or caregiver strain.

Joanne tailors each plan to the individual. She avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and focuses on what a person needs now. The goal is steady progress and clearer choices about next steps.

How Joanne's approaches work online

Joanne uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus the work on the person in front of her. This approach means sessions start with listening and understanding, helping people feel heard and able to say what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that suit their situation. She works collaboratively so the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins and quick steps between sessions easier to manage. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy schedules.
