About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and the everyday strain of life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. Joanne also offers coaching around career and confidence, and practical help for parenting, sleeping and eating difficulties.
She aims for a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak honestly.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Joanne acts as a guide rather than telling people what to do, and she works with each person at their own pace. Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods to suit different needs.
That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts and patterns, building skills to manage intense feelings, or focusing on what matters most to a person and taking small steps toward those values. She adapts the mix based on the issue and the client’s preference.
Joanne brings 16 years of experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work with people experiencing compassion fatigue, OCD, and professional coaching for motivation and confidence. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Joanne uses simple exercises, reflective listening and agreed actions to help people try things between meetings. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking, calmer responses and more choice in how to cope. International clients can work with Joanne in English using online formats.
She encourages a first step of describing the main concern, so sessions can be tailored from the outset.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes when someone wants more purpose-driven action.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It offers straightforward exercises and practical tools to reduce worry, improve sleep and change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and try different techniques to see what fits best. Together they pick methods that feel workable and adapt them over time based on progress and preference.
Online therapy makes those approaches accessible in different ways. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises face to face. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, ongoing support between appointments and can help with brief reflections or homework. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel commitments while keeping a consistent course of care.
