Joanne Rothery helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and major life changes. She is named Joanne Rothery and holds NCPS, which is shown as her credential. Her way of working aims to make people feel heard and accepted from the first conversation.

Joanne creates a calm, respectful space where clients can bring whatever they are feeling. She stays alongside people rather than directing them, and she listens for what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, as well as talking through painful memories when that feels right. Her approach draws on client-centred principles, cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused work. That means sessions often mix open listening with gentle challenges about unhelpful thoughts, and paced work on past trauma when it is needed.

Joanne explains options clearly and checks in about what feels useful each week. She has four years of professional experience supporting people through things like sleeping problems, anger, career stress, bipolar concerns and compassion fatigue. Joanne also works with issues such as attachment, codependency, body image and caring-related stress.

Her experience includes helping people affected by adoption and foster care, abandonment and ageing matters. Joanne offers video, phone, live chat and text messaging sessions so people can choose what fits their routine. She supports English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and also accepts international clients.

Approaches you can use online

Joanne uses client-centred work to prioritise what the person brings to each session. That means she listens without judgement, follows what feels important to the client and helps people find their own direction. This approach suits those who need a steady, accepting space to talk.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and task-focused, which can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and low mood. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past harm affects daily life; it involves paced, gentle work on painful memories alongside tools to manage strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will talk through options and adapt methods to match the client's goals, needs and preferences. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made collaboratively so the person feels involved in how therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging suit people who prefer to write or fit sessions into a busy day. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to join from wherever the client is based.
