About Joanne

Joanne Janvier is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. She works with young adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem and coping with life changes, and offers coaching for career and motivation concerns.

Joanne helps people talk through difficult feelings and practical problems. She uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work to build clearer steps forward. Sessions aim to address anxiety, OCD features, compassion fatigue and related strains of early adult life such as work pressure and relationship stress.

Her approach mixes cognitive behavioural ideas with acceptance-based and attachment-informed perspectives. That means Joanne can help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, learn practical skills, and look at how past relationships affect current habits. She also draws on dialectical behaviour strategies where managing strong emotions and impulsive behaviour is needed.

Clients can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on what matters now. Joanne offers coaching-style support for career decisions, motivation and transitions alongside deeper therapeutic work for trauma, grief or long-term mood problems. She also works with issues around sexuality, body image and addictions within individual sessions.

Joanne speaks English and accepts international clients. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, follow the online matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how her way of working fits your needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Joanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that match those values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and decisions about direction in life.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current expectations and behaviours. This can help with intimacy issues, trust, and how people relate in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss what you want to change and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts what she offers based on progress and feedback.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study or work days, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also allow sessions without being on camera or with lower bandwidth if that suits the person. Registered or accredited professionals like Joanne can explain practical arrangements and help match a format to your needs when you arrange the first session.
