About Joelma

Joelma Dos Santos is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and low self‑esteem. Her approach aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate while attending to each person’s needs.

Joelma adapts the pace and style of sessions to the individual.

Background and approach

She works with people facing life changes, postpartum depression, caregiver stress and difficulties around attachment and abandonment. She also supports those dealing with communication problems, relationship breakups, jealousy and isolation. Her work draws on existential ideas to help clients find meaning and direction during hard times.

She uses mindfulness practices to build calm and present‑moment awareness. Psychodynamic perspectives help uncover patterns that affect current feelings and choices. Sessions can address practical issues too, like money worries, hoarding tendencies, and the emotional weight of guilt or shame.

Joelma pays attention to multicultural concerns and the particular stresses that arise for people from diverse backgrounds. She offers therapy in English and Portuguese and accepts international clients. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to each person so plans change as progress is made.

How Joelma’s approaches translate to online therapy

Existential Therapy looks at big questions about meaning, responsibility and choice. In sessions this can help when life changes feel overwhelming or when someone is trying to find a clearer sense of direction.

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple practices to increase present‑moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These techniques can calm anxiety and make daily stress easier to tolerate during work or parenting pressures.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores repeated patterns in feelings and relationships that affect current behaviour. This approach can help people understand why they respond in certain ways and begin to change those patterns.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Joelma will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together the therapist and client decide what to try and adapt the plan as progress happens.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video suits deeper conversations when you want face‑to‑face contact. Phone can be helpful when bandwidth is lower or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check‑ins, shorter sessions or ongoing written reflection. These options make therapy more flexible for people with busy schedules or who live far from services.
