Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Joan McMenemy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill-building with reflective exploration. One approach focuses on skills-based strategies to manage symptoms - for example learning breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation tools, and problem-solving methods that can reduce stress and help manage anxiety and anger.

Another strand of her practice emphasises an exploratory, person-centered conversation that helps clients make sense of grief, relationship patterns, trauma responses, and life transitions. This work supports people in identifying personal values, understanding recurring dynamics, and developing new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joan works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and daily commitments. These flexible formats allow clients to engage in the ways that suit their routines and communication styles while maintaining the continuity of therapeutic work with a registered professional.
