About Joanne Sage
Joanne Sage is a licensed therapist practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional clinical experience. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works in an integrative way, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods to suit each person she supports. Joanne specialises in stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem and confidence, and a wide range of relationship, identity and life-change concerns.
Her approach focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. Joanne blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care, cognitive approaches and mindfulness practices to help clients understand patterns that stem from family history, cope with overwhelming emotion, and develop practical skills for daily life. She pays attention to how trauma can be stored in the body and uses somatic work alongside reflective talking therapies to help clients make sense of their reactions.
Joanne supports people in building stronger boundaries, increasing distress tolerance, and discovering inner resources for resilience. Her work aims to reprocess difficult experiences so clients can move forward with greater choice and personal agency. She offers flexible, tailored support that helps people grow, heal, and reclaim a more hopeful direction in their lives.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support
Joanne draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. This approach helps people understand relational wounds, improve communication, and build more secure ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy forms another core element of her work, offering a compassionate, non-directive framework that prioritises the client’s experience and supports self-discovery and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Joanne treats this as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and immediate needs, and adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.
Online therapy with Joanne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
