About Joanna
Joanna Gallacher uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. Joanna aims to create an open space where feelings can be named and worked through without judgement.
Joanna has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has supported people facing relationship strain, workplace pressure and big life changes. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, anger and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, and with issues around pregnancy and childbirth. Joanna also helps people dealing with isolation, midlife shifts, life purpose and ageing concerns. She attends to long-term patterns like dissociation and the impact of sexual assault and abuse.
Sessions are aimed at helping people identify practical steps and coping strategies. Joanna encourages clarity about short-term goals and tracks progress over time. She combines listening with straightforward feedback so people leave with ideas they can try between sessions.
Joanna is listed with BACP and NCPS, which are noted credentials in the context she provided. She conducts work in English in the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Joanna works collaboratively to identify which techniques match a person's needs, goals and preferences. She will review what helps, adjust the plan as you try things, and agree next steps together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or a flexible way to share thoughts when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and day-to-day life.
