About Joanna
Joanna Oxford is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She also helps with parenting strains, grief, trauma and abuse, and money and financial issues. Joanna offers a calm, respectful presence for people who find it hard to talk about difficult topics.
She trained and practised within NHS mental health services before moving into therapeutic work focused on personalised care. Joanna holds BACP which shows she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has twelve years of experience and uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method.
Joanna describes her style as warm and interactive. Sessions are conversational and tailored to each person’s needs. She aims to treat people with sensitivity and without stigmatizing labels, and she pays close attention to what matters most to the individual.
Broadly she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, emotion-focused and attachment-based thinking, plus client-centred principles. Those tools are used to help with patterns of thinking, emotional connection, and practical coping strategies. Joanna adapts the plan as work progresses.
She has extended her practice to include remote ways of working and is comfortable using email, telephone and video counselling. If you think this tone would suit you, choose the Start Therapy button, fill the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to availability.
How Joanna’s approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes when someone wants concrete ways to move forward.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current responses. It can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and managing strong emotions in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanna will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. The process is collaborative and plans are adapted as progress or challenges emerge.
Joanna has been using remote methods and is comfortable with email, telephone and video counselling. If you prefer other options, please confirm what is available before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, which can fit better around busy days.
