About Joanne
Joanne Brooks is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Joanne helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, coping with grief, or recovering from trauma and abuse.
She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on listening carefully and responding to what each person brings. Joanne pays attention to everyday thoughts and habits and how these shape mood and behaviour.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She works alongside people to identify small, manageable changes that can make a difference day to day. Conversations can include exploring relationships, parenting pressures, career concerns, or the effects of addiction and low self-esteem.
Joanne is used to helping with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar and depression, intimacy-related issues, and difficulties linked to attachment or loss. She also offers support around compassion fatigue and caregiving stress. The focus remains on what the individual needs right now and on realistic steps forward.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Joanne uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work and online counselling fit together
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the client brings, helping them feel understood and supported. This approach can be helpful for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and the everyday thoughts and habits that keep people stuck.Focusing on thoughts and daily routines means sessions often look for small, practical shifts. Conversations are collaborative - the counsellor and client decide together what to focus on and what steps to try between sessions. This helps tailor the work to someone's needs, goals and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time and letting them schedule appointments around work or childcare. Others prefer shorter check-ins by audio when less bandwidth is available or choose a format that makes it easier to focus without being on camera. Discussing practical arrangements makes it easier to find a way of working that suits everyday life.
