About Joanne Breslin
Joanne Breslin found her way into counselling through her own life experience, and she values the work she does with clients. Her personal journey, combined with professional training and BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - informs a practical, empathetic approach that aims to help people face what feels overwhelming.
She offers humanistic, person-centred and integrative counselling for adults, including young adults, and for couples. Sessions are tailored to the individual - the therapy tools and strategies are chosen to suit each person rather than forcing a single method. This flexibility supports exploration of a wide range of concerns from anxiety, trauma, and grief to relationship and family issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Many clients note Joanne's down-to-earth manner and straightforward style. She aims to reduce any sense of power imbalance, working alongside clients in a genuine, empathetic way and striving to understand experiences from their point of view. There is an emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where people can open up without pressure or judgement.
Joanne recognises that taking the first step into therapy can feel nerve-racking. She focuses on helping clients feel comfortable, validating their feelings, and avoiding unsolicited advice. While therapy can be challenging, she supports people who are willing to work towards greater ease, contentment, or peace in their lives.

Approaches and online counselling with Joanne Breslin
Joanne works from a client-centred foundation, which places the person's experience at the heart of therapy. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients to explore their feelings and values so they can find their own solutions and greater self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used where helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for reducing symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her toolbox, offering brief, goal-oriented techniques that help clients clarify achievable steps and build on existing strengths.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the balance of approaches as the work progresses so the therapy remains personalised and relevant.
Online therapy with Joanne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit around work, family, and daily life. These formats make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to continue even when schedules or circumstances change.
