About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience supporting adults through difficult times. She trained at Staffordshire University and holds additional postgraduate qualifications in advocacy and supervision.

Her approach is grounded in person-centred practice. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people lead the conversation about what matters to them.
Background and approach
Joanne draws on solution-focused ideas to help people identify small, practical steps that move them forward. Joanne has substantial experience in trauma work, including supporting survivors of sexual and domestic violence and providing advocacy through the criminal justice process. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as part of trauma-focused work when appropriate.
People typically come to her for help with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, and a range of life changes. She also supports those facing workplace strain, compassion fatigue and addiction-related struggles. In sessions Joanne aims to create clear boundaries and a steady professional relationship.
She invites people to set the pace and brings practical tools and reflective listening. Prospective clients are encouraged to complete the service's matching questionnaire before booking to ensure a good fit.

How Joanne's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this lens help people notice how they connect and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session; the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client's priorities to make sense of problems and choices. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their intensity when that is part of the plan.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Joanne will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most helpful for each person. That decision is shaped by the client's goals, history and what feels comfortable in sessions rather than being fixed at the outset.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, such as arranging sessions around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or options that suit different energy levels, like telephone or video if offered. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work well at a distance and focus on practical steps between sessions.
