About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a counsellor with nine years' experience supporting adults through difficult times. She holds BACP accreditation, and she trained at Staffordshire University and other institutions. Joanne offers calm, direct support for people who are anxious, stressed, grieving or recovering from trauma.
Joanne’s background includes work with sexual and domestic violence survivors and roles providing immediate mental health support through helplines and employee assistance programmes. She also completed a postgraduate certificate in advocacy for victims of sexual violence and has carried out independent advisory work within the criminal justice system.
How Joanne works
Her training includes EMDR trauma therapy and clinical supervision qualifications. Her day-to-day style is client-led and practical. Sessions focus on what the person brings, using listening, reflective questions and practical steps to make life feel more manageable.
She often draws on attachment ideas to understand relationships and on solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. Joanne uses an integrative approach that combines person-centred counselling with trauma-focused work when it is needed. That means she adapts to the person in front of her rather than applying a single method to everyone.
People looking for help with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship or intimacy issues will find direct, steady support. Sessions may address a wide range of concerns including addiction, grief, career stress, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and complex issues such as dissociation or attachment difficulties. Joanne works in English and accepts international clients for online support.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Joanne uses an integrative mix that often includes Attachment-Based Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early experiences shape current reactions. This can be useful for relationship stress, codependency and trust issues. Trauma-focused work concentrates on the impact of traumatic events and supports people to reduce distressing symptoms and regain a sense of control.Joanne also draws on client-centred principles, which means she starts from the person’s own priorities and works collaboratively to set goals. Finding the right approach is part of the process; she will talk through options and try methods that suit each person’s needs and preferences. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible and easy to fit in. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across different routines and locations while working with registered or accredited professionals.
