About Joanne
Joanne Carter is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults who are struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and related concerns. Joanne also supports people facing grief, addiction issues, sleep or eating difficulties, bipolar challenges, and problems with attention or motivation.
Joanne describes her work as focused on attachment and inner child recovery. She aims to make space for people to talk about painful past experiences and present struggles without judgement. Sessions tend to be conversational and reflective, with attention to how past relationships shape current patterns.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. Client-centred therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the person's own goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness and Jungian ideas sometimes appear when exploring meaning and inner imagery.
Joanne has experience helping people with communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and issues around intimacy and forgiveness. She also works with people from LGBT communities and supports those navigating life changes and questions of life purpose.
People choosing to work with Joanne begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients may be accepted; confirm session options when booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Joanne uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps when anger feels tied to hurt, rejection or difficulty trusting others. It focuses on patterns in relationships and on building different ways of responding.She also uses client-centred methods, which put the person's concerns and goals at the centre of sessions. That means conversations are led by the client and the therapist follows rather than directing. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behaviour and reactions to anger.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will help identify which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as priorities shift.
The original profile does not state specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations if international work is agreed. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
