About Joanne
Joanne Jones is a BACP Accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She trained at Staffordshire University and works one to one with adults and young people, and with couples. Her practice covers trauma, anxiety, stress and relationship concerns among other issues.
Joanne uses a client-led, person-centred foundation and combines that with solution-focused ideas and attachment-informed work. She has substantial experience in trauma therapy, including support for survivors of sexual and domestic violence. She also held roles offering immediate mental health support through an Employee Assistance Provider and a local mental health helpline.
Her background includes a Postgraduate Certificate in Advocacy for Victims of Sexual Violence from the University of Worcester and four years working as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor through the criminal justice process. She completed further training in clinical supervision at the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy and later trained in EMDR trauma therapy.
In sessions she listens for what matters to the client and follows their lead on priorities. Practical problem-solving and short-term strategies are used alongside deeper work on attachment, trauma memories and relationship patterns. She will discuss treatment options and what feels manageable for each person.
Joanne accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Fees vary by location and her sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Joanne uses a person centred foundation paired with attachment-focused and EMDR-informed work. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect current life and relationships. EMDR involves a structured approach to processing distressing memories and is often used with trauma and abuse survivors to reduce the intensity of difficult memories. Finding the best approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Joanne will talk through options, explain what each approach involves, and agree on a plan based on the client's goals and comfort level. Clients can expect to revisit the plan as work progresses and to choose between brief practical steps and deeper trauma-focused sessions. The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work and daily routine because sessions remove travel time and can be scheduled around commitments. Some formats let people check in without video or choose shorter meetings when time or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods like EMDR or attachment work to remote settings, and Joanne will discuss what will work best for each person.Areas of expertise
