About Joanne

Joanne (Jo) Warren offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or past trauma. She speaks plainly and listens closely to help clients make sense of difficult feelings. Jo aims to help people spot options, try different ways of coping, and decide what changes to make next.

Jo brings 12 years of experience as a counsellor and is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She uses a mix of approaches that match each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the client can manage. In practice she draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person's experience and point of view.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Trauma-focused approaches and EMDR are part of her repertoire when past events are contributing to current distress. Jo supports people with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, addiction, bereavement, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, and life transitions.

She also works with issues like ADHD, attachment and dissociation when these affect day-to-day coping. Sessions are offered in English and are run online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Practical arrangements such as cost and scheduling follow the service subscription model, which can be cancelled at any time.

How Jo uses trauma-aware and practical therapies online

Jo uses client-centred work to keep the client's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and helping them find their own solutions. It suits people who want a compassionate space to talk and to make sense of feelings.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers clear, step-by-step techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and try new coping strategies. For people affected by past events, trauma-focused approaches and EMDR techniques can help reduce the intensity of distress linked to memories and triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss differences between methods and collaborate with the client to choose what feels best for their goals and pace. She adapts plans over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit practical life demands. Video lets people see each other and work in real time, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving and daily routines.
