Joanne Janvier, BACP

Joanne Janvier is a counsellor with 16 years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. She supports individuals dealing with grief, addictions, burnout and compassion fatigue. Joanne also works with people managing mood disorders, ADHD, relationship concerns, parenting strain and the effects of past trauma and abuse.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She uses everyday language and aims to make difficult conversations feel manageable. Clients are invited to talk about what matters most to them while she offers guidance and reflection.

Joanne draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the client's needs. She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills. Attachment-based ideas help when early relationships affect current trust and intimacy.

Joanne holds BACP registration, which means she meets professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from the United Kingdom and can see people internationally. Sessions are conducted in English.

Taking the first step can feel daunting. Joanne supports people to set realistic aims and try practical changes between sessions. She encourages honest conversation and gradual progress at a pace the client chooses.

How Joanne's approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for people feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviours to ease symptoms like worry and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current trust and intimacy and can help when past hurt affects present connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss different methods and decide together which feels most helpful. She aims to match techniques to your goals, preferences and the pace you want to move at, so therapy becomes a collaborative process.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life since it removes travel and can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people choose a setting that suits them for talking about sensitive topics. Registered or accredited professionals like Joanne can adapt ACT, CBT and attachment-focused work for remote sessions to focus on practical skills and relationship patterns.
