About Joanne

Joanne Raisbury-Harrison is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are navigating trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder and depression. Joanne aims to listen without judgement and to meet each person with respect and sensitivity.

She tailors conversations and plans to each individual's needs. Sessions focus on clear, achievable steps and on building skills that fit everyday life.

Background and approach

Joanne pays attention to feelings such as guilt, shame and low self-worth, and helps people find ways to increase self-compassion. Her approach is practical and person-centred. She offers space to talk through painful experiences and to look at how they affect current relationships and mood.

For social anxiety and phobia, she works on manageable steps to face feared situations and reduce avoidance. Joanne supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms by helping them recognise patterns and plan for stability in daily life. She also helps partners of intimacy struggles identify communication changes that might improve closeness and trust.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Joanne aims to make that step clearer and more manageable. Conversations start where the person is, and progress at a pace that feels right. The goal is practical change that can be used outside the therapy room.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Joanne lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Joanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people talk through traumatic memories and reduce their hold on daily life by working on grounding, pacing and coping strategies that can be used between sessions. Another approach concentrates on mood management for conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression, helping clients recognise patterns, plan routines and build small habits that support stability.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will discuss different options and help decide which methods match a person's goals, needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy here is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options can help fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
