About Joanne
Joanne Saulter is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, collaborative approach to help people make sense of overwhelming feelings. She works with adults and young people to untangle issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief and codependency. Joanne is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings five years of practice to conversations about change and coping.
Joanne begins by listening to each person's story without judgement. She creates a warm space where people can notice patterns and try new ways of handling difficult thoughts and feelings. When helpful, she will include a faith perspective, but only if the person wants that.
Her background includes work with carers and adults with autism, and she often helps people facing life changes, parenting strain, relationship challenges and trauma. Joanne uses several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs rather than following a single method.
In sessions she encourages practical steps alongside reflection. This can involve learning new skills to manage strong emotions, practising acceptance of difficult experiences, or exploring attachment patterns that affect relationships. The aim is to support realistic goals and small, steady progress.
Joanne invites people to explore their questions about feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She explains options and helps set goals together, so therapy fits into everyday life and personal values.
How Joanne's approaches work online and what to expect
Joanne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a person-centred way of working. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and codependency. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and can help people understand how early bonds influence current connections and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne discusses different methods with each person and chooses techniques together based on needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, and she checks in regularly to adjust what is most helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins during stressful periods. It can also make some sessions shorter or quieter when needed, or avoid the need to be on camera depending on the agreed format. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor online sessions so therapy fits around everyday commitments rather than disrupting them.
