About Joanna
Joanna (Jo) Walker offers a calm, accepting space for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She introduces herself plainly and helps clients talk through stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. Jo is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Jo uses a trauma-informed and LGBTQ+ affirming approach. She believes people know their own lives best and treats therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and practical ways to move forward.
Background and approach
Her background combines humanistic, psychodynamic and behavioural ideas. That mix lets Jo adapt to different needs, from looking at past patterns to trying small changes in daily routines. She checks in regularly so the plan can shift as progress happens.
People can expect a warm, non-judgemental tone and clear goal-setting. Jo supports work on issues such as relationships, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, addictions, and managing bipolar or depression. She also focuses on domestic violence, self-harm, sexuality, women's issues and young adult concerns.
Sessions aim to build a trusting relationship and use clients' strengths to create lasting change. Jo encourages open feedback so therapy stays practical and relevant. Her approach is straightforward and centred on the client's priorities.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree a plan together. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as needs and goals change over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit those with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, study or family commitments.
