About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, parenting and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, career strain, bipolar and depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Joanne uses practical, conversational sessions to help people break down their problems. She listens to what matters and helps clients try out new ways of coping. Sessions are focused on small, manageable steps rather than long lectures or complex theory.
Her way of working draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. That mix lets her use skills, thinking exercises and attention to relationships in the room. She adapts those tools to the issue the person brings.
Joanne has particular experience with motivation, confidence and professional coaching alongside emotional issues like anxiety and OCD. She also supports people through family-related stress and the strains of parenting. The emphasis is on practical help for day-to-day life.
People who come to Joanne usually want clear, down-to-earth guidance they can use between sessions. She asks about goals and then tests small changes together. If you prefer straightforward conversations and mental skills you can practise, her style will feel familiar.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes where values-based action is useful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour and gives clear exercises to change those patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That conversation is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps in practice.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a working day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Others value being on camera to use visual tools or prefer audio for lower bandwidth. A discussion about your practical needs will help decide how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life.
