About Joanne
Joanne Lilley offers a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience first. She is Joanne Lilley and she holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a BA (Hons) in Person Centred Counselling, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She speaks English and has practised for 16 years in the United Kingdom.
Her approach is straightforward. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and reflecting what matters to the person. This helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief make sense of things and decide what they want next. It also supports those dealing with relationship problems, intimacy, parenting worries and identity or sexuality questions.
Joanne has worked with people navigating addiction, ADHD, bipolar and co-morbidity, and with those carrying trauma, abuse or compassion fatigue. She also supports people experiencing life changes, carer stress, chronic illness or concerns about body image and self-esteem. Practical concerns like sleep, anger and career pressure are covered too.
She aims to tailor conversations and planning to each individual's needs. Joanne does not offer diagnostic assessments and directs anyone seeking a diagnosis to their general health practitioner. She encourages people to take small steps and to choose what feels manageable when starting therapy.
To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How person-centred counselling works online
Person-centred therapy focuses on the client's own experience. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and grief by creating space to talk and to make clearer choices.Many people also benefit from short-term practical talk that looks at daily stresses like sleep, anger or work pressure. That practical style stays rooted in person-centred listening and aims to help people take small, manageable steps forward rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and together they will decide how to proceed. This collaborative process means the approach can change as needs evolve.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can use remote sessions to keep continuity of care when travel or time is limited.
