About Joanne
Joanne Rachel Winsor has worked as a counsellor in the United Kingdom for five years and holds BACP registration. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and depression. Joanne also helps LGBT clients and those coping with grief, relationship strain, life changes and ADHD concerns.
She uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed programme.
How Joanne works
Joanne listens for what matters most and then chooses practical steps that fit each person’s situation. Her background includes regular professional development to keep practice current and connected to research. She combines elements from different approaches so therapy meets the issue at hand, whether that is panic attacks, attachment worries, or processing sexual assault and abuse.
Joanne pays attention to everyday pressures that get in the way of wellbeing, such as control issues, blended family tensions, or the strain of divorce and separation. She also supports people dealing with cancer-related stress and feelings of guilt or shame. In sessions she aims to create a calm, respectful environment and to work collaboratively on realistic goals.
The focus is on small, workable changes - managing panic, improving self-love, or sorting out family problems one step at a time. Joanne invites people to take the first practical step and offers steady support along the way.

Online support options
Approaches that shape online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions; this suits issues like low self-esteem, life direction and relationship worries.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and immediate change. Sessions look for what is already working and build short-term strategies for problems such as panic attacks, stress or coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will explore needs, goals and preferences together and adapt the approach over time. This is a collaborative process where plans are reviewed and adjusted based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be used when less bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, reflection between sessions or when written communication feels easier.
These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can offer consistent support through these formats while tailoring the method to each person’s situation.
