About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and challenges linked to long-term health or caring roles. She helps with motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and offers coaching for professional and executive concerns. Joanne also supports people facing trauma, grief, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She lists experience with ADHD, compassion fatigue and sleep or eating difficulties.
Joanne uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred principles to help clients notice thoughts, try new behaviours and clarify values. She also uses attachment-focused ideas and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central.
Her background includes more than 16 years working in helping roles and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has covered workplace coaching and supporting people through loss, chronic illness and life transitions.
In sessions Joanne aims to be gently direct and collaborative. She will listen, reflect, and offer practical tools to try between meetings. Many people find that structured exercises alongside open conversation helps them make steady changes.
To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them and what they would like to change. From there she works with each person to set simple, realistic steps that fit their life and goals.

How Joanne’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters to them. It’s often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with chronic health problems by linking actions to personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical steps to test new ways of thinking and acting. Client-centred work emphasises being heard and understood, and helps people find their own pace and direction.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanne will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. She adapts tools and pacing so the work suits each individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
The original biography did not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose simpler setups when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to structure sessions so they match everyday life and goals.
