About Joanne
Joanne Rothery is a counselling therapist registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes, often working with people dealing with the pressures of early adulthood. She also supports concerns such as grief, sleep problems, anger and career-related stress.
Joanne offers a person-centred way of working. Sessions centre on the client's experience and priorities. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what matters to them. This practical, conversational approach suits people who want a non-directive space to make sense of difficult feelings.
She combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused approaches when these fit the issue at hand. That means clients may explore patterns of thinking and behaviour, and also address traumatic memories in a paced way. The choice of methods is agreed with each person she sees.
Her background includes supporting people with addictions, relationship and attachment concerns, caregiving stress and body image issues. Joanne also works with challenges linked to adoption and foster care, abandonment, dissociation and personality-related difficulties where these are part of a client's story.
Sessions are conducted in English and Joanne accepts international clients. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Joanne uses different approaches in online sessions
Joanne works from a person-centred perspective that keeps the client's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on listening, acceptance and following what the person brings each week. It can help when you need a steady, non-directive space to talk things through.She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. CBT-style work involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change reactions, which can help with anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past harm is affecting current life; this involves paced work on memories and their impact so people can feel less overwhelmed by them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Joanne discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning continues as work progresses and can be adjusted if something does not fit.
