Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support
Joanne integrates structured, evidence-based cognitive and behavioural techniques that help people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learn practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, stress, and addictive behaviours. These approaches focus on small, achievable changes that can make daily life more manageable.She also offers person-centred, supportive work that prioritises empathy, validation, and collaborative goal-setting. This method helps clients explore identity, relationships, self-worth, and coping during life transitions while building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne, as a BACP-registered professional, works together with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules or those living outside the therapist's immediate area. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and access support from different locations while working toward meaningful change with a registered therapist.
