About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP accredited counsellor with nine years' practice in the United Kingdom. She trained at Staffordshire University and has worked in one-to-one counselling for adults and young people. Her work has included trauma-related settings and employee assistance programmes.
Joanne commonly sees people with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, and issues linked to trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, addiction, and career-related stress. The listing also notes work around attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and blended family issues.
Her base approach is client-centred, and she uses attachment-informed thinking to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term practical steps. She also lists Trauma-Focused Therapy and EMDR as part of her practice for those affected by traumatic experiences.
Joanne has experience supporting survivors of sexual and domestic violence and has worked as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor. Her background includes providing immediate support for callers on a mental health helpline and delivering counselling through an employee assistance provider.
She takes a collaborative style in sessions, listening first and working through what a person brings. Practical problem solving can sit alongside exploring early attachment patterns. Sessions aim to be direct and clear, with boundaries and professional standards set out from the start.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-informed work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current bonds. Online sessions can be used to notice these patterns, reflect on their impact, and try different ways of relating in daily life. Client-centred practice focuses on listening and following what a person brings. In an online setting this means sessions start with the client's immediate concerns and then proceed at a pace set by the client, whether that is practical problem solving or deeper reflection. EMDR is an approach used for processing traumatic memories. When appropriate, the therapist may introduce EMDR elements to help reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions and support recovery from past events. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can begin in an initial session and evolve over time. The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work or parenting, allow shorter check-ins between busy days, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care while working on the practical and relational issues described above.Areas of focus
