Joanne Saulter, BACP

Joanne Saulter is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strains, ADHD and codependency. Sessions can also cover eating issues, anger, self-esteem, career changes and coping with major life transitions.

Joanne uses a person-centred stance that puts the client's experience first. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to suit different needs. In practice this means exploring what matters to the client, noticing patterns that keep them stuck, and trying out small, practical changes.

She can include faith perspectives in conversations when clients want that, and she works sensitively with people of all beliefs. Joanne has experience supporting carers and adults on the autism spectrum, and she says these areas inform how she listens and plans sessions.

Joanne aims to help people sort through unresolved past events that affect their present. She encourages clients to identify realistic goals and takes a steady, collaborative approach to working towards them. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory.

Sessions are suitable for adults who feel overwhelmed by everyday life, keep putting others first, or are living with another person's drinking, moods or crises. Joanne describes her role as listening closely and helping clients make the changes they want, at a pace that suits them.
