About Joanne

Joanne Ramshaw is a counsellor who works warmly and without judgement. She helps people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, and she supports those facing relationship strain, grief or major life changes.

Joanne has five years of professional experience. She draws on a mix of practical talking therapies to help people find clearer direction when life feels confusing or heavy. Sessions aim to be honest and straightforward, with space to talk about what matters most to the individual.

Her work includes supporting people dealing with health challenges, caregiving strain, bereavement and the emotional effects of separation or divorce. She also helps with issues such as commitment worries, communication problems and body image concerns.

Joanne uses approaches that encourage reflection on patterns of thought and behaviour, and that help people connect with their values. She balances exploring personal history with practical steps to change unhelpful habits. The intention is to help clients build coping skills they can use outside sessions.

Joanne is registered with BACP and NCPS, and sees people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with her and arrange appointments based on timing that suits both parties.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and when motivation feels low. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and giving people space to find their own solutions; it suits those who need a steady, supportive relationship with their counsellor.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Joanne works collaboratively to find what fits each person's goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adapt the way they work as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people access consistent support while managing health or caregiving commitments. Many registered or accredited professionals use these benefits to make therapy more practical for daily life.
