Joanne Brooks helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, struggles with self-esteem, addictions, eating issues and the pressures of parenting. Her work covers mood challenges such as depression and bipolar, and practical life changes like career shifts and burnout.

She is Joanne Brooks and she brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Joanne follows a client-centred approach that puts the person at the heart of each session.

Background and approach

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about painful events or confusing emotions. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual, at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions tend to emphasise understanding how past experiences shape current reactions.

Joanne helps people identify patterns in relationships and everyday life, and she supports them in trying out new ways of coping. The work is practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive. She also pays attention to specific concerns such as attachment difficulties, dissociation, ADHD, caregiver stress, and issues connected to kink and alternative sexual cultures.

This lets her tailor conversations to the realities people bring, whether that is a long-standing problem or a recent loss. Joanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP. She offers sessions from the United Kingdom in English and uses formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of conversations. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps people clarify their feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and many difficulties that benefit from being understood in context.

Joanne will work with each person to find the best therapeutic fit. That means she will explore what goals matter, what has or hasn't helped before, and which ways of working feel most comfortable. The decision about approach is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation when those visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent contact. Using a mix of formats can make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family life and busy schedules.
