Joanne Jones, BACP

Joanne Jones is a BACP counsellor with nine years' practical experience. She trained at Staffordshire University and has worked across trauma therapy and front-line mental health support. Joanne brings calm and clear focus to sessions and aims to help people manage worry, pain and big life changes.

Her approach is person-centred at its core, so conversations are shaped around each person's needs. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and on solution-focused methods to find practical steps forward. Joanne also uses EMDR when trauma memories are a barrier to everyday life.

She has worked with people affected by sexual and domestic violence and has provided immediate support through a national employee assistance programme. Her background includes advocacy for victims of sexual violence and four years as an independent sexual violence adviser in the criminal justice system.

Joanne also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision and has experience offering supervision alongside direct counselling. She keeps professional boundaries to create a steady space for clients to talk and to plan change.

In sessions she listens first, then helps identify small, usable changes. The work can include talking, practical tasks between meetings, and paced trauma-focused methods when needed. Joanne offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How Joanna's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps with trust, closeness and patterns that repeat in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and the therapist providing understanding and non-judgemental listening to help a person find their own direction. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method used to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and the strong emotions they trigger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear, so therapy stays responsive to what helps most.

The biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work when location or work commitments make in-person meetings difficult.
