About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP counsellor who has worked in adult and young person counselling since 2016. She trained at Staffordshire University and brings nine years of practice to conversations about stress, anxiety, trauma and life changes. Joanne describes her work as client-led and practical, aiming to help people find clearer ways forward.
Joanne has spent significant time supporting people affected by sexual and domestic violence. She has also worked for a mental health support helpline and with an employee assistance provider offering immediate help for a range of problems. Her background includes a Post Graduate Certificate in Advocacy for Victims of Sexual Violence and experience as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor.
Her approach is grounded in the person-centred tradition and blends other methods to match each person’s needs. That means sessions often focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on small, achievable steps between meetings. Practical ideas and short-term goals are woven together with attention to attachment and trauma-related patterns.
Joanne uses a mix of trauma-focused work and solution-focused techniques when appropriate. She has training in EMDR and draws on that alongside attachment-based ideas to help with difficult memories and relationship issues. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care related concerns.
In sessions Joanne keeps clear professional boundaries and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. The aim is to create a steady space where people can talk through their problems and work towards realistic changes.
How Joanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Joanne uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people spot recurring problems in relationships and develop new ways of relating. She also works from a person-centred, client-led stance which puts the person's priorities at the front of every session and encourages practical steps that suit daily life.EMDR is another strand of her work and is used to address distressing memories and their emotional impact. In simple terms EMDR pairs focused attention with guided processing to help reduce the intensity of troubling memories and the reactions they trigger.
Finding the right approach is something she works through with each person. She will talk about options, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process where goals and preferences shape the work together.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family commitments and fewer travel needs. Some clients prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions to reduce bandwidth or avoid being on camera; confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same kinds of therapeutic conversations online as they do in person, and Joanne will discuss the best way to work for each person.
