About Joanne
Joanne Rothery is a counselling therapist registered with the NCPS in the United Kingdom, with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and problems related to family and grief. Joanne also supports people coping with sleep problems, anger, career strain, bipolar-related challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions follow a person-centred approach, where the client is placed at the centre of conversations. Joanne listens without judgement and helps people talk through difficult feelings. She aims to offer steady, calm presence while clients decide what to bring to sessions.
Joanne uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside trauma-focused methods when these fit a person’s goals. That can involve looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and trying practical ways to change them. She also draws on trauma-focused techniques to address past harms in a paced way.
She commonly works with issues connected to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or control problems. Other areas Joanne supports include body image, dissociation, and personality-related concerns such as avoidant or dependent patterns.
Sessions are carried out in English and Joanne accepts international clients. People are encouraged to use the site button to view online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session if they wish to proceed.
How sessions work
How Joanne uses her approaches in online sessions
Joanne works from a person-centred base, which means sessions focus on what the client brings and on being listened to with acceptance. This approach helps when people need a steady, non-directive presence while they sort through feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tries practical steps to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events affect daily life; this involves paced work to address traumatic memories and their effects.
Deciding on an approach is collaborative. Joanne will help the client consider goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then try ways of working that suit those needs. That might mean using person-centred listening for some sessions, and adding CBT exercises or trauma-focused techniques at other times.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering sessions without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists use these benefits to help people balance therapy with home and work life.
