About Joanne

Joanne McKenzie is a therapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and has four years of professional experience. Joanne focuses on creating a calm, welcoming space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment.

She uses a person-centred approach which means the conversation follows the client’s priorities. Sessions are guided by what matters most to the person in the room. Joanne also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses.

Background and approach

Her work covers common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to sexuality and identity. Practical concerns such as career stress, parenting strains and life transitions are part of her practice too.

Joanne listens for the small patterns that maintain a problem and helps people try manageable changes. She uses mindfulness techniques to bring attention to the present moment and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals. The aim is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are offered in English and are available online through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How Joanne’s approaches work online

Joanne uses a person-centred approach that lets the conversation follow what matters most to the client. This style focuses on listening, understanding and responding to the client’s own goals rather than imposing solutions.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT-style work online often involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them and trying small behavioural experiments to see what changes.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Joanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The approach can be adjusted over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals and includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and body language, while phone work uses less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and daily life.
