How Joanne’s approaches work online

Joanne combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to guide online work. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process distressing events and reduce the impact of traumatic memories, often using paced discussion and practical coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change unhelpful ways of relating and feeling close to others. Client-Centred therapy puts the person’s own priorities first, offering a non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Joanne will discuss needs, goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as understanding grows. The intention is to find what fits each person rather than impose a single model.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone wants flexible, written contact. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, study and family life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional progress.
