Approaches to Attachment, Growth, and Online Care

Joanne uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape emotional patterns and relational habits; this approach helps people understand long-standing fears around closeness, trust, and safety and is often useful for healing from relationship trauma and attachment wounds.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own experience; this method supports self-exploration and helps people build self-esteem and a clearer sense of personal values and goals.

When appropriate, Joanne integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and together they decide which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Joanne can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access care from the United Kingdom or abroad and to continue therapy through life transitions and busy periods.
