About Joanne
Counsellor Joanne Janvier is a BACP member with 16 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, coping with life changes and professional coaching. She also works with addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar and depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Joanne uses straightforward, person-focused sessions. She listens and helps people talk through what matters to them. Sessions aim to build practical skills alongside reflection, not only discussion.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Joanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and act on personal values. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot thinking patterns and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-based ideas help when early relationships affect current trust and closeness.
Joanne also works with elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for emotion regulation and Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s own pace in sessions. She says coaching and clinical work overlap for some clients, especially around career and motivation.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns over 16 years and accepts international clients who can work in English. Before booking, people should confirm which session formats Joanne currently offers.
How Joanne’s approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on small actions that reflect what matters to someone, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and behaviour experiments to shift patterns that keep problems going, useful for anxiety, depression and some eating or sleep difficulties.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations of closeness and trust. It can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and patterns of avoidance or clinginess.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with each person about what they want to change and which methods feel like a good fit. She aims to agree a plan together and to adjust it as needs and goals become clearer.
The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats. Please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit around work and family, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits. Registered or accredited professionals can offer remote work that combines discussion, written exercises and practical homework to fit everyday life.
