About Joanne
Joanne Pollard is a counsellor who combines talking therapy with an awareness of physical health. She trained as a nutritionist before moving into counselling and uses that background to notice links between diet and mood. Joanne works in English and offers sessions online for people in the United Kingdom and beyond.
She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk through relationship strain, grief and big life changes.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and practical steps to feel steadier. She also helps people who are experiencing compassion fatigue and workplace stress. Joanne pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that can make relationships harder.
She supports people dealing with guilt, shame and the need to forgive themselves or others. Social anxiety, loneliness and questions about life purpose are also in her remit. Her approach is flexible and practical.
Sessions often include exploring daily routines, emotional reactions and small changes that can make a difference. Joanne draws on three years of counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as a professional credential. People who prefer clear conversation and sensible steps tend to find her helpful.
She works with individuals who want honest, steady support when life feels difficult. Getting started is a short process that begins with an online matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Focus areas and approaches
What Joanne works with
Everything Joanne lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss different techniques and tailor sessions to a person's goals, preferences and day-to-day reality. She treats this as a collaborative process and checks in regularly to see what is or is not helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy or unpredictable lives. Video calls bring face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
