About Joanne
Joanne Brooks helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and the fallout of trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and people coping with life changes. Joanne’s approach is straightforward and warm, and she aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things.
Joanne works in a way that centres the person in front of her. She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to each person and finding steps that fit daily life. Her work covers a wide range of issues including addictions, self-esteem, anger, bipolar condition, eating difficulties and ADHD. Joanne also pays attention to attachment, codependency, communication problems and the stress of caregiving.
She can help people think through commitment worries, control issues and dissociation as well. Joanne brings three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She applies client-centred therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client’s experience rather than imposing a rigid plan.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Starting is a short process that begins with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling to suit the person’s availability. People who prefer an empathic listener and a practical focus may find this style helpful.
Joanne aims to support change at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of each person’s history and needs.

Approaches Joanne 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
In practice Joanne aims to offer an accepting, non-judgemental space where people can speak at their own pace. She will work collaboratively to choose ways of working that match the client’s needs and goals. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process and is reviewed together as therapy proceeds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who find it easier to write. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping the focus on real progress.
