About Joanne
Joanne Ramshaw is a counsellor who combines compassionate listening with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She uses straightforward language and a calm approach so people feel heard and able to take the next step. Joanne holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years of professional experience.
Joanne often helps people facing grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation problems and big life changes. She also works with issues linked to health, chronic illness and caregiving strain. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas for those wanting support around those experiences.
Her sessions tend to be warm and non-judgemental. She aims to build a trustworthy space where someone can talk through what matters most to them. Conversations often include practical strategies to manage day-to-day stress alongside time to reflect on emotions and relationships.
Joanne draws on a mix of therapy approaches to suit each person. She uses techniques that help people notice their thoughts and values, explore personal stories that shape behaviour, and work on changing unhelpful patterns. These approaches are chosen to match the client’s goals and pace.
People ready to try counselling are invited to follow the site booking process. Joanne will work with each person to set clear, realistic steps so progress is steady and manageable.
How therapy approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can support stress, anxiety and low motivation by focusing on what matters most in everyday life.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. It can be useful for people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries or recurring relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss the options and work with the client to select methods that match their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family commitments, and the ability to meet without travel. The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to work well online, using shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when helpful to make sessions fit everyday life.
