About Joanne

Joanne Saulter is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with everyday tasks, or carrying unresolved issues from the past. Her work covers stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and parenting concerns, ADHD, grief and other life changes.

Joanne uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience first. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and offers gentle guidance to help them name what feels difficult. Sessions focus on practical steps and on exploring thoughts and feelings so people can begin to make small changes that matter.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. That mix is used to help with emotional regulation, managing difficult reactions and improving close relationships. She will discuss which methods might be helpful and why.

Joanne also integrates faith-based perspectives when clients want that to be part of therapy. This is offered only at the client's request and is not imposed. She works respectfully with people of all beliefs and backgrounds.

She has experience supporting carers and adults on the autism spectrum and has worked with a wide range of life concerns such as eating issues, intimacy-related difficulties, bipolar mood issues and coping with chronic illness. To start, clients are invited to reflect on goals and practical next steps for change.

How sessions work

How Joanne applies therapeutic approaches online

Joanne commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside Client-Centred practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values, which can reduce reactive responses like snapping or resentment. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how earlier bonds influence reactions now, useful for intimacy and anger-related issues. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their own experience and decide what they want to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means the methods used can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when people need them. Discussing format and timing early on helps shape practical arrangements that suit everyday life.
