About Joanne
Joanne Shipp meets people where they are and helps them talk through what feels hard. She knows reaching out can feel uncertain, so she offers steady, down-to-earth support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and related struggles. Joanne is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
She holds BACP accreditation which is recorded as BACP in her credentials. Joanne uses a blend of approaches that she adapts to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on exploring what matters to the individual and building practical ways to feel better day to day. She aims to create a reliable space to talk about relationship challenges, grief, career concerns, sleep and eating worries, and difficulties linked to ADHD and identity issues such as LGBT matters.
Her work also covers practical problems like family conflict, communication and commitment issues, caring responsibilities, chronic illness and body image. Joanne will listen for patterns linked to abandonment, attachment or emptiness and help people find small steps that make a difference. She discusses goals and revisits progress regularly.
Joanne offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She provides short-term and longer-term support and reviews therapy as it progresses. If after the first conversation it seems she is not the best fit, she will help find a more suitable referral route.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. Joanne generally works in the evenings Monday to Friday with some open slots, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

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
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. It can help when someone wants to understand underlying causes of anxiety, emptiness or attachment difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person and check in regularly to see what helps. That collaborative process guides whether the focus is on insight, practical short-term changes or a mixture of both.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caring duties or busy evenings while still accessing the chosen therapeutic approach.
