About Joanne

Joanne Saulter is a counsellor who blends person-centred care with practical therapeutic methods. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and brings five years of experience to her practice. Joanne offers a calm, non-judgemental space and can include a faith perspective when clients want that.

She speaks English and sees people in the United Kingdom. Joanne aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck with past events, or unsure what change would look like.

Background and approach

She listens first and helps clients identify small, realistic goals. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, building coping skills, and finding steps that fit everyday life. Her way of working draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred practice.

That mix lets her support emotional regulation, relationships, and values-based choices. She also has experience supporting carers and adults on the autism spectrum. Joanne is comfortable including Christian faith in sessions when it matters to the person she is meeting.

That perspective is offered only at the client's request and never imposed. Her approach remains respectful of different beliefs and backgrounds. People use Joanne's sessions for stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, eating issues, anger, intimacy-related matters and life transitions.

She focuses on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support

Joanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help when anxiety, depression or parenting stress feels overwhelming.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. This approach helps people understand emotional responses and build more supported ways of connecting in present relationships. Finally, client-centred practice means sessions start from the person's own priorities and move at their pace, with the counsellor listening and reflecting rather than directing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss methods together and agree what feels helpful based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process lets the person try different ways of working until something fits.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video can be useful for more in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, journalling between sessions, or when written reflection feels easier. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around family life and busy schedules.
