About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She offers help with career and executive coaching, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and neurodiverse-related issues such as ADHD and autism. Joanne works with clients who are also coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, and compassion fatigue.
She uses a warm, person-focused style in sessions. Clients are invited to talk through their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Joanne aims to create a calm space where people can explore who they are and what they want to change, with the counsellor acting as a guide rather than an authority.
Joanne draws on several practical approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred methods. She uses these to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and try out new ways of responding to stress and relationships.
With 16 years of experience and BACP registration, Joanne brings long-term practical experience to her work. Her background includes helping people with motivation, confidence, OCD, and compassion fatigue alongside common mood and anxiety concerns.
People who are thinking about therapy will find a straightforward process for getting started. Joanne supports international clients and runs sessions in English. Prospective clients choose a matching questionnaire and then schedule a time to begin.
How certain approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them block chosen action. Online ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with major life changes by focusing on values and gradual steps forward.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT can be useful for anxiety, OCD, depression and sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit their needs. Decisions about which tools to use come from a shared plan, with space to adapt as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats Joanne currently offers before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, requires less travel, and can be adapted into shorter check-ins when needed. Other practical benefits include being able to attend from a different location or to avoid face-to-face sessions while still practising techniques and building new routines.
