About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP-accredited counsellor with nine years of practice supporting adults and young people. She trained at Staffordshire University and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Advocacy for Victims of Sexual Violence from the University of Worcester. Joanne has substantial experience in trauma work and in offering immediate-response counselling through employer assistance programmes.
Joanne describes her foundation as person-centred and uses an integrative style. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her and what they want to change. She draws on solution-focused ideas and attachment work to help people find practical steps forward.
Her background includes work with survivors of sexual and domestic violence and time as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor supporting people through the criminal justice process. She also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision in 2020 and trained in EMDR trauma work in 2024.
In a typical session Joanne listens without judgement and helps people identify small, manageable goals. She helps with things such as stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports people dealing with addiction, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Joanne works in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. She keeps clear professional boundaries and follows a client-led approach, so the focus stays on what the person bringing themselves wants to address.
How Joanne’s approaches translate to online working
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they form certain bonds and offers ways to create more secure connections in relationships and with themselves. Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening and following the person’s lead. It gives space for someone to talk through feelings and find their own solutions with non-judgemental support. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories by guiding the way the brain processes them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, make it easier to attend when travel is difficult, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also let people work from quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt attachment, person-centred and trauma-focused methods to online work, and Joanne will discuss practical arrangements and what will work best for each person.
