About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP counsellor with nine years of practice. She trained at Staffordshire University and has worked across trauma support, helplines and employee assistance programmes. Joanne draws on experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.
Her approach is rooted in Person-Centred care, where the conversation follows the client and their priorities. She combines this with Solution-Focused techniques and Attachment-Based ideas to help people understand connection patterns and practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Joanne also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, for trauma-related work. Joanne has particular experience supporting people affected by sexual and domestic violence and has worked as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor. She also has a postgraduate certificate in advocacy for victims of sexual violence and training in clinical supervision from the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy.
Sessions are aimed at addressing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, and career concerns. She can also work with issues such as attachment, abandonment, body image and codependency. Joanne frames therapy as a collaborative process.
She focuses on clear professional boundaries and working within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework. Conversations are paced to the person and aimed at workable, everyday changes.

How Joanne works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss options and decide together which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as issues evolve and progress is seen.
The biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar environment or those juggling work and family time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to remote conversations while focusing on practical steps and emotional processing.
