About Joanne
Joanne Saulter is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses a person-centred, integrative approach. She combines practical listening with structured therapy methods to help people who feel overwhelmed by life, stuck by past events, or unsure what support they need.
Joanne works from the idea that clients know their lives best. She offers a calm, respectful space to talk through difficult feelings and decide on realistic goals. Sessions aim to help people notice what matters to them and take steps towards change.
Her practice draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused methods. Joanne can also include faith perspectives when clients want that to be part of therapy. She does not impose spiritual views and respects every person’s background.
Joanne has five years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has particular experience supporting carers and adults on the autism spectrum, and she works with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship issues.
People often come to Joanne for help managing everyday strain, coping with life changes, or working through parenting and career pressures. She aims to listen closely, reflect what she hears, and help people find practical ways to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others, which can support relationship and intimacy concerns. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person in the room, offering empathic listening and non-judgemental support to help people explore feelings and make their own choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This means talking about what feels useful, trying practical steps in sessions, and adjusting the plan as things move forward.
If you are thinking about online therapy, please confirm the session formats Joanne currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to schedule sessions around work or family commitments. Many therapists find that the same approaches used face to face adapt well to remote sessions, and Joanne will discuss how to make each session practical and relevant to everyday life.
