Joanna Kay, BACP

Joanna Kay is a UK-based therapist who creates a warm, non-judgemental space for people working through depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem or confidence concerns. She holds an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy, a postgraduate degree that underpins her clinical training, and she is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors in the UK.

Joanna has experience supporting people across charities, schools and private mental health clinics, working with a wide range of ages and backgrounds. She listens carefully to each person's needs and goals, and collaborates to develop clear therapy objectives and practical strategies tailored to individual circumstances. Her practice places emphasis on rediscovering self-compassion, building self-confidence and restoring authenticity, and she offers guidance for issues such as motivation, work-related stress, shame, guilt, attachment concerns and feelings of isolation.

Joanna also incorporates creative therapies into her work, using art, poetry and writing exercises where these methods suit a client’s needs and preferences. Sessions are available by video call, telephone or live chat, and she arranges weekly meetings at times that work best for each client. Joanna welcomes contact from anyone ready to take the first steps toward change and greater wellbeing.
