Joanne Lilley, BACP

Joanne Lilley offers a person-centred approach that puts each person's experience at the centre of sessions. She meets people where they are and focuses on building understanding and trust. Joanne aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them and start to make practical changes.

With 16 years of professional experience, Joanne has supported people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also works with concerns such as grief, sleep problems, anger, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Sexual dysfunction is included among the issues she lists as a focus area.

Joanne uses a client-centred style, which means she follows the person's lead and listens deeply without rushing to give advice. Sessions focus on what the person wants to work on and on building self-understanding and coping skills. She will adapt conversations and the plan to fit individual needs.

She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a BA (Hons) in Person Centred Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Joanne makes clear she does not provide medical diagnosis and will direct people to their GP for clinical assessment when needed.

Joanne works in English and accepts international clients. The site booking process uses a short matching questionnaire and a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and select a session time that fits their schedule.

How client-centred work fits with online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's concerns. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection to help people clarify their feelings and make their own decisions. This approach can help with relationship issues, self-esteem, grief and many day-to-day stresses.

Person-centred practice puts the person's needs first and adapts to how they prefer to work. Joanne will discuss goals and decide together which ways of working suit the person best. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs and priorities shift.

The biography does not specify which session formats are provided, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy in general can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity if work or life circumstances move someone between locations. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain format choices and help match practical arrangements to a person's routine and goals.
