Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Joanne draws on client-centred therapy to create a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on listening and empathy to help people explore identity, relationships, and emotional struggles at their own pace.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT offers structured tools for recognising thoughts and testing new coping strategies.
Mindfulness therapy is another element Joanne may introduce, which involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. This can be useful for managing stress, improving emotional regulation, and supporting overall wellbeing.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as the work evolves.
Online therapy with Joanne is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to attend sessions from home or wherever is convenient. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are not possible.
