About Joanne

Joanne Janvier is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and big life changes. She helps with motivation, confidence and professional coaching, and offers support for grief, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also works with issues such as addiction, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Joanne practises in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.

With 16 years of experience and BACP registration, Joanne aims to build an open, non-judgemental space. She encourages clients to talk about what matters to them and to try small, practical steps between sessions. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first and then suggests ways forward.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including cognitive behavioural ideas for working with unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas for values-led action, and attachment-based thinking for understanding relationship patterns. She mixes these in plain language to match each person’s needs.

Joanne also has experience supporting people with more complex histories, including trauma, abandonment, adoption and caregiving stress. She aims to be calm and steady when difficult memories or strong emotions come up.

Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site. The subscription model can be cancelled at any time and session cost varies by location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, values-driven steps even when strong feelings are present. It can help when anxiety, low mood or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people develop different ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and methods can be mixed to fit what the client needs over time.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy days. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time so people can focus on the session itself. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep therapy practical and consistent with daily life.
