About Joanne
Joanne Janvier helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self‑esteem and major life changes. She supports those dealing with addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges like ADHD, bipolar disorder and depression. Joanne also offers coaching for career and professional development and guidance around parenting and caregiver stress.
Joanne practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which she uses alongside 16 years of experience. She aims to make sessions straightforward and calm.
Background and approach
Joanne focuses on listening closely and naming what's getting in the way of daily life. Her approach is practical and person-focused. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help people build skills and try new ways of responding.
Attachment‑based and client‑centred ideas shape how she explores relationships and emotional patterns. In sessions Joanne works collaboratively, helping people set clear goals and try small, realistic changes between meetings. She places emphasis on moments that matter most to the client, such as improving sleep, reducing worry, or managing cravings.
Joanne is comfortable addressing less talked about concerns too, including body image, kink and alternative sexual culture, adoption and foster care issues, and chronic illness. She encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready and offers steady support along the way.

How Joanne works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanne treats the decision as a collaboration and will discuss options based on a person’s goals, needs and preferences. She adapts methods as therapy progresses so that sessions remain relevant and useful.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed.
