About Joanne
Joanne (Jo) Webster is a counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and other life changes. She offers a calm presence and practical guidance for people facing trauma, family difficulties or major transitions. Jo is registered with the NCPS, which she gained after completing her training in the United Kingdom.
Jo tailors sessions to each person. She draws on a mix of approaches so conversations focus on what feels most helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and paced to suit how someone wants to work - talking, reflecting, and trying small steps between meetings. Her background includes several years supporting people through bereavement and end-of-life matters. That work included helping those coping with a terminal diagnosis and those grieving the death of a baby, child or young person.
She also has experience addressing issues such as addiction, trauma, attachment and relationship problems. Jo uses a client-focused style alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural work and psychodynamic thinking when these suit the aim of therapy. She also offers hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing as additional options when clients want them.
The emphasis is on finding practical ways to reduce distress and rebuild a sense of control. People who meet Jo can expect an approachable and attentive counsellor who listens without judgement. She aims to create clear goals together and to check in about progress as therapy continues.
If someone prefers flexible session styles and a collaborative way of working, Jo offers those options.

Online support
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical experiments between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress and when someone wants clear steps to reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jo will discuss options and help decide what fits the person’s needs and goals. That means trying methods, reviewing progress and adjusting the plan as required in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lives and rhythms. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer written exchanges. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties or travel.
