About Joanne

Joanne Saulter is a BACP counsellor who focuses on trauma, stress and anxiety. She works with adults to help them make sense of difficult moments and to move towards practical change. Joanne aims to create a warm, respectful space where people feel listened to and understood.

She uses person-centred values at the heart of her work. That means sessions are led by the client’s priorities and pace. Joanne also draws on trauma-focused approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address painful memories and build coping skills.

Background and approach

Joanne has five years of clinical experience and has worked extensively with carers and adults on the autism spectrum. She is comfortable integrating a faith perspective when the client wants that included, and she respects people of all beliefs and backgrounds. Typical work includes helping people with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD-related difficulties, depression, and life changes.

Joanne also supports those dealing with body image, eating issues, chronic illness and codependency, among other concerns. Sessions aim to identify realistic goals and practical steps. Joanne listens for strengths, helps name unhelpful patterns, and offers techniques from DBT and ACT when useful.

The overall emphasis is on collaboration, empathy and steady progress.

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.

Online approaches for trauma, values and relationships

Joanne uses trauma-focused work to help people process distressing memories and reduce the way past events affect daily life. That approach often involves gentle pacing, grounding techniques and practical strategies to manage flashbacks or strong emotions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood and cases where someone wants to live differently rather than stop all unpleasant feelings. Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current connections and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Joanne will listen to a person’s story and together they decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face when they want that connection. Phone sessions are a good shorter option or if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and flexible contact between longer sessions.
