About Joanne
Joanne Airey is a counsellor in the United Kingdom and a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She has around 10 years of practice across hospices, schools, universities and private practice. She helps people who want to feel less anxious, manage stress, handle relationship tensions, cope with grief, and reduce anger and frustration.
Joanne offers straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on what a person wants to change. She uses a person-centred style that centres the person's own experience and priorities. Where useful, she draws on solution-focused ideas to set practical steps and on psychodynamic or cognitive approaches for understanding recurring patterns.
Her background includes work with a wide range of ages and life situations. That includes experience in end-of-life settings and education environments, which informs how she approaches loss, stress and parenting concerns. She also has experience supporting people with ADHD, trauma and addiction-related issues.
Joanne has provided many sessions remotely and by phone. If you prefer to meet online or by phone, confirm the current session options before booking. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button. Joanne then collaborates on goals and practical steps to address anger, sleep problems, self-esteem, career worries and other concerns.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Joanne uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on what matters to the client and on listening carefully to their experience. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to shape their own goals rather than follow a set plan.She also uses solution-focused techniques which look for small, practical steps and changes that can make daily life easier. These methods are useful when someone wants concrete actions to reduce anger, improve sleep, or manage stress at work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne discusses options with each person and adapts the mix of listening and practical steps based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences.
Her profile notes experience delivering sessions online and by phone. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online or phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a workday, cut travel time, or choose a quieter setting. They also allow for shorter check-ins or longer discussions depending on what fits a person’s schedule.
