About Joanne
Joanne Ramshaw is a counsellor who uses straightforward, compassionate care to help people through difficult times. She draws on five years of practice and a warm, non-judgemental approach to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and low self-esteem. She combines practical talking therapies with short-term goal work.
That means identifying what feels unmanageable now and trying small, achievable steps to change it. Sessions are calm and direct, with room to talk about feelings and the everyday problems they cause.
Background and approach
Joanne uses methods that help people clarify values, notice unhelpful patterns and tell their story in a new way. She often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive techniques and attachment-informed thinking to suit each person. This mix can help when someone is coping with loss, big life changes or problems with trust and closeness.
She has experience supporting people dealing with parenting pressures, addiction, chronic illness and the fallout of separation and domestic violence. Joanne also works with concerns such as body image, abandonment, blended family dynamics and caregiver stress. Joanne is registered with BACP and NCPS.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Online support
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand patterns in relationships and how early experiences affect trust and closeness. That perspective can be useful when working through relationship strain, abandonment concerns or communication problems. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work; the therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to goals and preferences in collaboration with the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow a face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and health commitments.
