Approaches Used and How Online Sessions Help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters to them. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that get in the way of living a meaningful life.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and how those patterns affect current connections. It supports people working through abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties and relational mistrust.

Joanne takes a collaborative stance, recognising that finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. She works with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences and adapts tools from different models to suit each person.

Online therapy with Joanne offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging for those who prefer written communication. This range of options helps clients access consistent support around work schedules, caregiving responsibilities or mobility limitations, making it easier to maintain progress over time.
