About Joanne
Joanne (Jo) Webster is a Professionally Accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered with the NCPS and has practised since 2015. She works in the United Kingdom and has ten years' experience supporting adults with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. Her work also covers related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, and communication problems.
Jo uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed model. She draws on client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques. This flexible way of working means sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
She has particular experience in bereavement and loss, having worked for seven years in palliative care supporting people with terminal illness and their family members before and after death. That background informs how she supports people through grief, hospice and end-of-life counselling, and caregiver stress.
Jo also works with issues linked to trauma, dissociation, domestic violence, addiction, divorce and separation, and chronic illness such as cancer. Her practice includes attention to feelings of guilt, shame, control issues and forgiveness when these come up in therapy.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative and straightforward. She will listen, outline options drawn from different therapeutic methods, and together agree on a plan. Prospective clients are encouraged to check session formats and scheduling details before booking.
Jo speaks English and works with adults in the UK. She is registered with NCPS and brings a decade of practice experience to each client conversation.
Approaches you can expect and how online sessions work
Jo draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to the person's experience so they can set the pace and priorities for sessions. That approach suits people who need to feel heard and want a relationship-based way of working.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. CBT can be helpful for managing anxiety, stress and practical coping skills tied to study, work or relationships.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust based on the client's needs and goals rather than imposing a single method. Clients are involved in choosing what to try and how to measure progress.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around study and work commitments and reducing travel time. If you prefer different setups or have questions about session length and format, please confirm the current options before booking so you know what will work with your routine.
