About Joanna
Joanna Markvoort-Weijters helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and challenges at work. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, addiction issues, grief, sleep or eating problems, and the practical fallout of life changes. Joanna also works with people who identify as LGBT and with concerns linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Joanna works in a straightforward, respectful way. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on noticing patterns, talking through practical steps and building on strengths. She aims to make the first steps less daunting and to keep therapy focused and useful. Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships shape current reactions and close bonds.
She also uses client-centred methods that prioritise a person’s own pace and priorities. Existential approaches help when life feels empty or choices feel overwhelming. Joanna holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP in her credentials.
She has around 11 years of professional experience working with a range of concerns including adoption and foster care issues, attachment and ageing questions, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and isolation. Sessions are available in English and Dutch and she works from the United Kingdom.
If you are ready to begin, the usual route is to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange a first meeting.
