About Joanna
Joanna Walsh is a counsellor who brings warmth and a calm presence to therapy. She focuses on helping people move through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Joanna also supports clients dealing with ADHD, sleep difficulties, career questions, parenting strain and relationship concerns.
She works in plain, steady language and aims to make sessions feel manageable. Joanna uses talking therapy alongside creative, art-based activities when words are hard to find.
Background and approach
This can help people express strong feelings, notice patterns, and try different ways of coping. Joanna’s approach blends client-centred listening with practical thinking skills from cognitive behavioural work. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions.
Trauma-focused methods are used when people are carrying the effects of past abuse or other traumatic events. People come to Joanna for a range of issues including chronic illness and pain, postpartum and midlife transitions, caregiver stress, relationship communication problems, and difficulties linked to autism or Asperger syndrome. She pays attention to how these challenges affect day-to-day life and choices.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs. Joanna listens for what already helps someone get through hard moments and supports gentle changes that build resilience. Her country of practice is the United Kingdom and she works in English.
With three years of professional experience and NCPS listed as a credential, Joanna focuses on clear, compassionate work that helps people feel more connected to themselves and others.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills for problems like anxiety, sleep issues and depression.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns rooted in earlier life experiences. It can help people see why they repeat certain responses and open up different choices in relationships and self-care.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanna will discuss what seems to fit based on a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process where the person’s priorities guide each step.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still using the therapeutic methods described above.
