About Joanne
Joanne (Jo) Warren offers a calm, approachable space for people seeking help with stress, anxiety, depression and other difficult life issues. She listens carefully and helps clients make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Jo aims to help people find choices and small steps they can try between sessions.
Jo brings 12 years of experience as a counsellor and is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
She also practises eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, which she uses alongside other approaches when appropriate. In sessions she starts by hearing the person’s story and priorities. She uses straightforward methods to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to build practical coping strategies.
Mindfulness and client-centred ways of working often shape the pace and focus of therapy. Jo has worked with people facing trauma, grief, relationship strain, addiction and many life transitions. She pays attention to issues such as sleep, eating, parenting pressures and career stress, and tailors the way she works to each person’s needs.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Joanne works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jo will discuss different methods and try to match the way she works to the client’s goals, preferences and what feels manageable in sessions. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses.
The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to join from a quieter location, use shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel around busy schedules. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt techniques such as CBT exercises, mindfulness practices and EMDR preparations to suit remote sessions so people can keep making steady progress.
