About Joanne
Joanne Carter is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, addiction and issues around intimacy and sexual orientation.
Joanne works in a calm, non-judgemental way. She creates space for people to talk about what is hard. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building emotional safety and taking small steps that feel manageable.
How Joanne works
She uses clear, everyday language so conversations stay practical and easy to follow. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred care alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That mix is useful for tackling unhelpful thinking, improving communication and working through painful memories.
Joanne also weaves in reflective tools from Jungian thinking for people curious about meaning and inner life. Joanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of professional experience working with these kinds of concerns.
She offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. People meet her for video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. The format can be chosen to suit schedules and how someone prefers to talk.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to fit their needs.

Online support options
How Joanne's approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns, feel understood and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection so clients can find their own solutions and gain confidence in making changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful habits and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Joanne will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on emotional safety, practical skills or exploring deeper patterns, and they adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for conversation and visual cues, phone fits when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
