About Joanne
Joanne Rothery is a counselling therapist registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, sleeping problems and anger. She also supports people with career worries, bipolar concerns and compassion fatigue.
Joanne draws on a person-centred stance in the room, which means she puts the person’s experience and choices at the centre of sessions. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through difficult feelings. Her style is calm and steady, and she aims to help people feel understood while they consider their next steps.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. That can mean practising small changes and building new habits between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy methods are used when past harm is part of what someone brings, focusing on manageable ways to process difficult memories.
Joanne is open to working on practical problems such as sleep disruption, addictions and workplace stress, as well as deeper emotional issues like grief, attachment concerns and abandonment. She can help people think about changes they want to make, or simply be there while someone copes with a hard time.
Her approach combines straightforward talk, practical exercises and steady listening. People who prefer clear steps and a calm conversational style tend to find this helpful. If you want to try working on anger or related concerns, Joanne offers a direct, no-frills way of exploring what’s getting in the way.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Joanne uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people make their own decisions. That approach is useful when someone needs a steady listener and practical time to sort through feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks down how thoughts and behaviours interact. CBT helps with anxiety, sleep issues, anger and practical problems by teaching steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past experiences keep affecting the present. This work aims to process difficult memories in smaller, manageable steps so they take up less space in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things, reviewing how they feel, and adjusting the plan together.
The details of how sessions run online are not listed in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or family commitments around appointments, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often find remote sessions useful for keeping therapy practical and manageable alongside daily life.
