About Joanne
Joanne Rothery is a counselling therapist who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She works with practical problems like sleeping difficulties, anger, grief and career strain. Joanne also offers support around codependency and relationship patterns that cause distress. She practices from a person-centred stance and places the client at the heart of each session.
Joanne uses simple, direct conversation to help people feel understood. She aims to build a calm space where clients can bring whatever they are carrying. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most now, whether that is managing daily stress or processing painful memories.
Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy to match the needs of each person. That means practical steps can sit alongside listening and emotional support, depending on what someone needs. Joanne has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS, which she uses as part of her practice identity.
People who meet her often want to make changes, feel steadier, or simply have someone to talk things through with. Joanne invites clients to explore small, realistic steps toward feeling calmer and more content. She aims for straightforward sessions that fit into everyday life.
Joanne works in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. International clients may be supported; confirm the current options when you make arrangements.
Approaches used in online therapy and finding the right fit
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and being alongside someone without judgement. It helps people feel heard and able to bring difficult thoughts and feelings to the session.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It introduces simple practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns of thinking.
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people work through distressing memories and their impact on daily life. It can be used alongside listening and practical coping strategies to reduce the hold of past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree on a mix of listening and techniques. This is a collaborative process aimed at what helps someone now.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Different session arrangements can suit different needs, so please confirm the current session formats before booking. The focus is on making therapy manageable and relevant to everyday life.
