About Joanna
Joanna Markvoort-Weijters is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 11 years of experience. She works with adults on common early-adult pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem and career uncertainty. Joanna also supports people facing depression, addiction and life changes.
Her approach treats the person, not a checklist. She listens to each person's story and builds on their strengths. Sessions tend to be conversational, practical and focused on what matters now.
Joanna uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She draws on client-centred ways of working that place the person's experience at the centre of the sessions. Existential therapy helps when people face big questions about meaning, identity and direction.
She has worked with people affected by autism, ADHD, grief, family problems and caregiving stress. Joanna also addresses challenges such as body image, sleeping and eating difficulties, and coping with separation or divorce. Her work includes helping those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are conversational and aim to create clear next steps. Joanna encourages practical experiments between meetings and reviews what helps. People looking for support can expect steady, plain-speaking guidance that focuses on the immediate problems and longer-term patterns.
How Joanna's approaches fit with online counselling
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current responses. Online sessions can help people notice repeating patterns in friendships and romantic relationships and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy keeps the person's experience at the heart of the session. This approach supports people who need a listening space to clarify their goals and feel heard. Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, identity and life direction and can help when someone is facing big decisions or a sense of drifting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanna will discuss which methods suit the issue and the client's preferences. She treats that choice as collaborative, adjusting methods as understanding grows and priorities change.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around study or work and reducing travel time so meetings are easier to keep. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for short, focused check-ins or longer reflective meetings depending on how they want to work.
