About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience in supporting adults through difficult life moments. She trained at Staffordshire University and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Advocacy for Victims of Sexual Violence from the University of Worcester. Joanne draws on direct experience offering trauma-focused work and immediate support counselling in workplace and helpline settings.
Her practice is calm and down-to-earth. Sessions are led by the person who comes through the door and focus on clear steps forward.
Background and approach
She uses an integrative mix of client-centred listening, attachment thinking and solution-focused tools to make therapy practical and relevant. Joanne has substantial experience working with survivors of sexual and domestic violence and with people navigating grief, addiction, relationship strain and major life changes. She also supports those facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy, body image and parenting.
Her training includes EMDR for trauma processing alongside trauma-focused approaches that look at how painful events affect daily life. She also brings experience from employee assistance programme work and a role as an independent adviser within the criminal justice system, which informs her straightforward style.
In sessions Joanne keeps clear professional boundaries and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. She helps people name the problem, try practical small changes, and notice what shifts over time.

How Joanne’s approaches work online
Joanne uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps when trust, closeness or repeated conflicts are causing distress. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, which focuses on reducing the emotional charge of traumatic memories and their impact on daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will listen to what matters to the client, discuss options and try methods that match the person’s goals and comfort. She adapts the pace and techniques so clients can see what helps and what doesn’t, making adjustments as needed.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual contact, phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, childcare or other commitments, and make it simpler to keep consistency with sessions from different locations.
