About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP accredited counsellor with nine years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She qualified in 2016 and has provided one-to-one counselling for adults and young people, and has worked with couples. Her practice covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, career matters and bipolar disorder.
Joanne has a background supporting survivors of sexual and domestic violence and has provided mental health support through a helpline and employee assistance programmes. She holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Advocacy for Victims of Sexual Violence and has worked as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor supporting people through the criminal justice system.
Her approach draws from Person-Centred work and integrates Solution-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, which she trained in as a trauma therapy in 2024, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions are led by the client and aim to explore practical solutions and clearer ways forward.
Joanne emphasises professional boundaries and works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. She offers supervision experience from a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision gained in 2020. Her style is straightforward and focused on helping people talk through the issues they bring.
She accepts international clients and provides sessions in English. Prospective clients are invited to use the online matching and scheduling process to book a first session and begin practical work on the concerns they bring.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Joanne uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current responses. This approach helps when anger or distrust is linked to past attachments and repeated relationship difficulties.She also works from a Client-Centred perspective, which means sessions focus on what the client brings and the therapist follows the client’s lead. That style helps people feel heard and to develop their own ways of managing strong feelings. Joanne also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related distress, which is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on trauma processing, attachment patterns, or short-term solution-focused steps.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into work breaks, to avoid travel, or to use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt sessions to the client’s practical needs, for example offering a focused single-issue meeting or a series of sessions aimed at a specific outcome.
