Joanne Bagwell is a counsellor who works with people across the United Kingdom.

About Joanne

Joanne Bagwell is a counsellor who works with people across the United Kingdom. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Joanne also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain and career-related stress.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP. Joanne draws on several counselling approaches to meet each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on listening carefully and responding with warmth and respect. Conversations are straightforward and practical, aiming to help people feel heard and to find small, usable changes that reduce distress. Joanne adapts what happens in the room depending on what someone brings.

She may use trauma-focused techniques when past harm is central, client-centred work to follow a person’s priorities, or solution-focused ideas to identify immediate steps. The aim is to match the approach to the goal. Her background includes three years working with individuals in independent practice across issues such as caregiving stress, attachment difficulties, body image, midlife challenges and mood disorders.

Sessions are offered in English for people living in the UK. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Joanne uses online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy fit into everyday life.

How Joanne’s approaches work online

Joanne draws on trauma-focused therapy to help people who are managing the effects of past harm. This approach looks at how trauma shows up in the body and daily life and supports gradual, contained ways to process difficult memories. She also uses client-centred therapy which places your concerns at the centre of sessions and follows your pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to make sense of feelings and decisions.

She may also bring in existential ideas to help people facing big life questions or loss of direction. Those conversations focus on values, meaning and personal choice rather than quick fixes. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; Joanne will work with each person to agree what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences.

Online therapy with Joanne is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth, live chat can be handy for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and day-to-day life.
