About Joanne
Joanne Rachel Winsor is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and depression. She also offers support around LGBT issues, relationships, grief, life changes and ADHD.
Joanne keeps learning through regular professional development to stay current with research and practice. She describes herself as an integrative therapist, drawing on different approaches so sessions match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Joanne uses a practical, person-focused style and aims to make conversations straightforward and respectful. In a typical session she listens first and then shapes a plan together. That plan might include coping strategies for panic or anxiety, ways to rebuild self-worth, or steps to process trauma and past abuse.
She also helps people navigate parenting stresses, blended family tensions and separation issues. Joanne works with people dealing with complex feelings like guilt, shame or abandonment. She can support those affected by sexual assault, domestic violence, cancer-related distress or sudden life changes.
Her approach pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns when relevant. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Joanne uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
How Joanne applies therapeutic approaches online
Joanne uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process past harm in a paced way, often breaking down overwhelming memories into manageable pieces. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the persons lead, listens without judgement and adapts sessions to what feels most helpful. Solution-Focused Therapy appears when clients want short-term, goal-oriented changes and practical steps to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of her work together with each client. Joanne discusses needs, goals and preferences during early sessions and adjusts methods over time. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than applying a fixed method.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between sessions.
