Therapeutic approaches and online support
Johanna draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses involves talking through painful memories and current reactions to those memories, helping people make sense of how the past affects the present. This can be helpful for trauma, abuse, and attachment-related pain. Another strand of her work focuses on coping skills and behavioural strategies that reduce anxiety and low mood. These techniques teach concrete tools for managing difficult thoughts, building routines and improving daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Johanna discusses goals and preferences with each person, then adapts methods to fit their situation. She helps people try different ways of working and checks in to see what feels most useful and practical over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or who need brief, frequent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
