About Joanne
Joanne (Jo) Warren is a BACP-accredited counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting and eating or sleeping difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through the site’s online booking flow.
Jo takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She listens to the client’s perspective and helps them make sense of what is happening in their life. Conversations aim to identify practical choices and develop coping strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Her work can draw on client-centred principles to keep conversations grounded in what matters to the client. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to address thinking patterns and behaviours. For people affected by traumatic memories, EMDR may be considered alongside other approaches.
Jo also uses hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques when these fit a person’s goals. These methods are offered as part of a collaborative process rather than a fixed package. The exact mix depends on what the client brings and the goals they set together.
Clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and can schedule a first session through the site. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Jo draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and EMDR to support people online. Client-centred work focuses on listening and exploring what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs to clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. EMDR addresses distress linked to traumatic memories and can reduce the emotional charge those memories hold.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, past experiences and what feels manageable. Together they will try different methods and adjust the plan as needed rather than relying on a single technique from the outset.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as they are listed through the site’s online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work around daily life, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If a client prefers methods such as mindfulness practice or brief CBT exercises, these can be worked on between sessions to help carry the work into everyday routines.
