About Joanne

Joanne Jones works with stress, anxiety, trauma and related difficulties using a person-centred, integrative approach. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years' experience in counselling since qualifying in 2016.

Joanne trained at Staffordshire University and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Advocacy for Victims of Sexual Violence from the University of Worcester. She later completed further professional training including a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision from the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy and EMDR Trauma Therapy in 2024.

Her clinical work has included one-to-one counselling for adults and young people, short-term support through an employee assistance programme, and work on a local mental health support helpline. She has also spent several years supporting survivors of sexual and domestic violence and acted as an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor within the criminal justice system.

In sessions she uses a person-centred foundation and draws on attachment-based ideas, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused methods where helpful. That means conversations focus on what the client brings, with practical steps and reflection on important relationships and past events.

Joanne describes counselling as led by the client and pays close attention to professional boundaries and ethical practice through her BACP accreditation. She works with issues such as relationships, grief, addictions, self-esteem and life changes, and adapts her approach to the needs and goals people bring.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at important relationships and patterns that formed in the past and how they affect current feelings and closeness with others. It focuses on making those patterns easier to notice and discuss, which can help with relationships and attachment issues.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall. It is often used with survivors of abuse or other traumatic events and is applied in a step-by-step way.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what a person wants to change. It helps set clear, short-term goals and builds on what is already working in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help choose which methods to use. This happens collaboratively so the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also permit sessions without being on camera or with lower bandwidth when that suits practical circumstances.
