About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the strain of life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, addictions, bipolar and depression, and offers coaching for career and motivation. Parenting-related concerns are also within her remit.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Joanne draws on 16 years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to inform a practical and empathetic style.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Conversations are straightforward and paced to the client’s needs. Her approach combines evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas.
She also uses attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working to understand relationship patterns and personal values. This mix helps people notice unhelpful habits and try different responses. Joanne pays attention to everyday pressures like work stress, caring responsibilities and sleep problems.
She can support those experiencing compassion fatigue, addiction-related difficulties, body image concerns or changes linked to aging and health. Practical coping skills are offered alongside emotional processing. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, allowing flexibility around busy schedules.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that fit with the person’s routine. Joanne aims to be a steady, non-judgemental guide through change.

How Joanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values; it suits worries, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and tackle unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted as you go and different tools can be blended to meet changing priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit around life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful; phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and messaging provide quick check-ins or a way to reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule appointments, keep regular contact and continue progress despite a busy routine.
