Dr. Joanna (Ioanna) Karaoulani, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to take steps that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety and mood problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship, offering a non-judgemental space where people can talk things through and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanna will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as the work progresses to reflect what helps most.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging which makes therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be lighter and need less bandwidth, and messaging options support brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These formats aim to offer flexibility and steady continuity of care for people in different places, including international clients.
