Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Joanne combines person-centred listening with methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or worry.The choice of approach is collaborative. Joanne will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they will try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
The original biography mentions phone, video calling and instant messaging as possible ways to meet, so please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people use tools and exercises in their everyday setting while getting guidance from a therapist.
