About Joanne

Joanne Perkins is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Joanne has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her practice.

Joanne listens with care and adapts sessions to each person's situation.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and practical steps to reduce distress. She pays attention to motivation, confidence, and how past experiences affect current relationships and choices. Her work draws on client-centred principles, which put the person's perspective at the heart of sessions.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try small experiments that can change daily routines. Solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals and measure progress in small, workable steps. Joanne aims to create a calm and respectful space in every session.

She will collaborate on a simple plan that matches personal goals, whether coping with grief, managing anger, dealing with addictions, or navigating life changes. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking are common outcomes people notice. To begin, she encourages people to reflect on what they want to change and to start with one small goal.

Sessions can be tailored in pace and length to suit individual needs and circumstances.

Ways of working Joanne names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Joanne uses client-centred work to make sessions feel person-led and respectful. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can explore what matters most and find their own steps forward.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps identify patterns of unhelpful thinking and tests small changes to daily routines. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and many stress-related problems. Solution-focused therapy is used to set clear, short-term goals and to notice small signs of progress that build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Joanne treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss options with the client and adjust the methods used as goals and preferences become clearer. The plan can change over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits conversations when seeing facial cues helps, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer to write. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting or mobility needs while keeping continuity of care.
