About Joanne
Joanne Rothery is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She works with issues such as grief, sleeping problems, anger, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Joanne uses a warm, patient style that aims to make clients feel heard and accepted from the first conversation.
Joanne practises in a Person-Centred way and draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and trauma-focused methods when these suit a person’s needs.
Background and approach
She places the client at the centre of the work and focuses on building a calm, supportive space. Sessions are intended to feel straightforward and down-to-earth rather than clinical or complicated. Her approach is to listen carefully, reflect what she hears, and gently help people try new ways of thinking and coping.
Practical ideas may be offered between sessions to help manage anxiety, improve sleep or reduce unhelpful patterns. Joanne also pays attention to how past experiences affect current reactions and coping strategies. Joanne has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential.
She works with adults who want a compassionate, steady presence while they make changes or navigate difficult times. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries when suitable arrangements are possible. Sessions can be arranged online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Joanne aims to match her style to each person’s pace and goals, helping them feel safer, clearer and more able to move forward.
How Joanne’s approaches work online
Joanne uses Client-Centred Therapy to put the person at the heart of the work. This approach means she listens closely, reflects what she hears and aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can speak freely. It helps when someone needs understanding and a steady presence.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT offers simple, practical techniques to try between sessions for issues like anxiety, sleep problems or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic experiences continue to affect daily life; it focuses on helping people process those experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Joanne will work together with each person to decide what feels most helpful, tailoring methods to their goals, pace and preferences. This collaborative planning means the work can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see and hear each other for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when you do not want to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
