About Joanne (Jo) Webster
Joanne (Jo) Webster is a Professionally Accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered with the NCPS and qualified since 2015. She trained and practices in the United Kingdom and brings a flexible, integrative approach to her work that draws on a range of therapeutic theories and techniques.
Working from an integrated and pluralistic framework, she adapts methods to fit each person rather than using a single fixed model. Her practice includes elements from humanistic and person-centred approaches, transactional analysis, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused work and psychodynamic therapy. She has experience supporting adults, children and young people in individual, couple and group settings.
One of her core areas of expertise is bereavement and loss. Having spent seven years working in palliative care, she supported people with terminal diagnoses as well as their family members through both pre-bereavement and post-bereavement stages. She has particular experience helping those who have lost a baby, child or young person through life-limiting illness or sudden traumatic events, and adults grieving the loss of a parent, partner, relative or friend.
Her practice also covers stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-esteem, trauma, attachment and relationship or family difficulties, alongside work with addiction and abuse. She describes herself as empathic, approachable and trustworthy, and she tailors her counselling to the needs and preferences of each person she sees. She appreciates the time taken to read this profile.

Approaches in online therapy with Joanne (Jo) Webster
Joanne uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s own goals and perspectives guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and building trust, and is helpful for people facing life changes, low self-esteem or relationship concerns.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood and trauma-related symptoms because it offers practical tools for managing day-to-day challenges.
Hypnotherapy is another option she may integrate when appropriate; it involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habits, reduce anxiety or aid coping with grief and pain.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne works with each person to explore what fits their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to find the best combination of support.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs, and they allow registered professionals to provide consistent care from different locations.
