Joanne Jones is a BACP counsellor with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young people in one-to-one counselling and also offers support to couples. Joanne trained at Staffordshire University and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Advocacy for Victims of Sexual Violence from the University of Worcester.

Her work has focused strongly on trauma. She has supported survivors of sexual and domestic violence and provided immediate support through an employee assistance programme.

Background and approach

She also spent several years as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor helping people navigate the criminal justice system. Joanne uses an integrative, person-centred foundation. This means she follows the client’s lead while drawing on approaches that fit each person’s needs.

She has a particular interest in solution-focused work and attachment-based ideas. In 2024 she completed training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, adding trauma-focused tools to her practice. She also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision from the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy, supporting other practitioners in their work.

People come to Joanne for help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and trauma-related issues. She also supports matters such as self-esteem, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and career stress. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative, with clear professional boundaries and an ethical framework set by the BACP.

How Joanne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Joanne draws on attachment-based and trauma-focused ideas alongside client-centred and solution-focused methods. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change unhelpful ways of relating. Trauma-focused approaches, including EMDR, aim to reduce the hold of painful memories and the symptoms that follow them.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through what feels important, try techniques that fit the person’s goals, and adjust methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative way helps match therapy style to each person’s needs and preferences.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits people who prefer typing, and text-based messaging works for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical, goal-oriented work.
