About Joanna
Joanna 'Jo' Biegala works from an integrative approach that blends person-centred care with practical therapies. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Jo offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult emotions and situations at their own pace.
Jo uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, practical steps that move a person towards their goals. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, self-love, social anxiety and women’s issues.
Sessions aim to be collaborative. Jo encourages people to lead the direction of therapy while offering tools and ideas to help make changes. Conversations can include exploring feelings, trying coping strategies and setting manageable goals.
Jo has three years' experience and practises in the United Kingdom. She provides a straightforward, compassionate style and adapts approaches to match each person’s needs and preferences.

Approaches Joanna lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jo will discuss options and try methods that match the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process so people can steer the focus and keep what helps while changing what does not.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written communication or want flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, home life and other commitments while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person work.
