About Joanne
Joanne Saulter is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with five years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and relationship and family issues. Her practice also addresses parenting, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes.
Joanne uses a person-centred way of working, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead. She draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centred practice. This mix supports practical work on thoughts, feelings and behaviours, as well as on relational patterns.
She is comfortable integrating a faith perspective when a client wants that included and works with people of all beliefs and backgrounds. Faith is never imposed; it is offered only when it is relevant and requested. Joanne has particular experience supporting carers and adults with autism.
Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, achievable steps. Joanne helps people name what is difficult and try new ways of responding. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
Joanne has worked with a wide range of life issues including abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family questions, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and codependency. She aims to help clients find clearer direction and practical coping strategies over time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns and family dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss different methods and decide together which are most useful for the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study or work days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
