About Joanne
Joanne Rothery is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She works with people facing big life changes, grief, sleep problems, anger, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Joanne also supports people affected by bipolar difficulties and a range of relationship and attachment issues.
Joanne uses a person-centred approach that puts the client at the heart of each session.
Background and approach
This means she listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions are calm and accepting, aimed at making it easier to speak about difficult or painful subjects. She blends client-centred work with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy, and with focussed methods for trauma.
That mix helps people both to feel heard and to try small changes that can make daily life easier. Joanne encourages talking through feelings and testing different ways of coping in everyday situations. Her background includes four years of professional practice and registration with NCPS.
Joanne draws on personal experience as well as clinical work to offer steady, compassionate support. She aims to help people find clearer footing when life feels overwhelming. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person.
Joanne welcomes whatever someone brings to the room - the painful bits as well as the hopeful parts - and works with them to decide what to focus on next.

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
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Joanne will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they adapt the work over time so the sessions keep fitting the person's needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls let conversation feel more like an in-person appointment, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect from another region.
