About Joanne

Joanne Janvier is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues connected to codependency. She also supports people facing life changes, career pressures, parenting challenges and neurodiversity-related needs.

Joanne works in a direct, respectful way. She listens to what feels most urgent for the person in front of her and focuses on useful, day-to-day changes. Sessions look at how thoughts, habits and relationships keep problems going, and at practical steps to try or adapt. Techniques come from cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance-based work, joined with a focus on how early attachments shape current patterns.

She brings experience with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. That background informs how she plans sessions and how she paces exposure to difficult memories or strong emotions. Joanne can also offer coaching-style support for motivation, professional challenges and confidence building.

People who value clear feedback and straightforward tasks find this approach practical. Joanne aims for honest conversation and realistic steps people can use between sessions. She accepts clients from outside the UK and works in English.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How Joanne’s approaches fit with online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and people who get stuck avoiding difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness, trust and boundary-setting and can help when someone keeps losing themselves in caring for others.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Joanne will talk through what feels right, try methods in session and adjust based on how the person responds. The aim is to find practical ways to change patterns and to build skills the person can use between meetings.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, making it easier to fit a session into a lunch break or allowing a shorter check-in when needed. Online sessions also let the therapist and client try exercises together in real time and follow up on tasks between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will suit the person’s needs, goals and day-to-day commitments.
