About Joanne
Joanne Janvier helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and major life changes. She also supports people facing addictions, grief, career strain and intimacy-related concerns. Joanne works with a wide range of issues including depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She accepts international clients and holds BACP registration from the United Kingdom. Joanne draws on straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. She aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings.
How Joanne works
Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on small steps that fit everyday life. Joanne describes her role as a guide who helps people clarify their goals and try new ways of coping. Her clinical background spans 16 years.
Over that time she has supported people with relationship strain, parenting worries, body image and work-related stress. She also has experience with attachment issues, bereavement, adoption and foster care concerns, and long-term health or caring responsibilities. Joanne uses a mix of established approaches tailored to the person in front of her.
She draws on methods that include acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, client-centred talking, cognitive-behavioural tools and skills from dialectical behaviour work. Practical exercises and reflective discussion are woven into sessions so people can apply what they learn outside of therapy. People begin by choosing a session format that suits them.
Appointments are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging and run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
Therapy approaches you can choose online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to act on what matters most. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and when life feels uncertain. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds influence current relationships and helps people understand patterns of closeness and distance. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and repeated relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. Together you will try approaches and adjust them so the way you work feels useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel and can be useful for regular check-ins between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals deliver these options and can match format and method to what works best for each person.
