About Joanne
Joanne Brooks is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. Joanne focuses on day-to-day struggles as well as bigger life shifts that feel overwhelming.
Joanne keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. She listens without judging and helps clients talk through what matters most to them. Sessions look at current stresses, patterns in relationships, and ways to cope when emotions feel out of control.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s pace. That means conversations are guided by what the client brings, not by a fixed agenda. This approach can help when someone needs to be heard and understood before making changes.
Joanne also supports people with issues around self-esteem, addiction, intimacy and eating concerns. She can help with career stress, parenting strain and coping after big life changes. She works with clients on practical steps as well as emotional processing.
Clients can expect a calm, direct style and a focus on clear next steps. Joanne invites people to try small changes between sessions and to reflect on what works. The aim is to build manageable ways of dealing with daily pressure and longer-term wounds.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy centres the conversation on the person sitting across from the counsellor. It involves active listening, open questions and reflecting back what is said so the client can clarify their own thoughts. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief, relationship worries and the everyday pressures of young adulthood. Using this method online means sessions are led by whatever the client brings that week. The counsellor will check in about goals, try out ways of talking about difficult feelings, and adapt pace to what feels manageable. Decisions about techniques and homework are made together rather than imposed. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss which methods feel most helpful and adjust them based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps clients know what to expect from future sessions. The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into study timetables, work breaks or busy weeks, and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and the counsellor can suggest ways to adapt sessions if someone prefers not to use video.Areas of expertise
