About Joanne
Joanne Kevan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and parenting pressures. She also helps with issues such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, sleeping problems and coping with life changes. Joanne has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses as a basis for her practice.
Her style is integrative and person-centred. She prefers a holistic approach that considers thoughts, feelings and life circumstances together.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to give people space to speak freely and to be heard without judgement. Joanne works collaboratively to uncover core issues that may be driving current problems. She focuses on understanding the root of difficulties so people can start to heal and feel more settled.
Practical conversation and reflection are used to explore what feels most helpful in day-to-day life. People can expect a calm, respectful space where emotional safety is prioritised. Joanne encourages small steps and realistic changes that fit a person’s routine.
She also offers coaching-style support when people want focused goal work alongside emotional processing. Starting therapy can feel daunting and Joanne acknowledges that first step. She aims to make the process straightforward and compassionate, guiding people through early appointments and helping them plan how to move forward.

Approaches that suit parenting and life transitions
Joanne uses integrative, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine emotional exploration with practical work. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood; it helps when someone needs to talk through difficult feelings and feel validated. Short-term, goal-focused methods concentrate on setting small, achievable steps to manage stress, improve sleep or tackle practical parenting challenges and low motivation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and adjust methods as you progress. Together you will choose what feels most useful, whether that is deeper exploration of past events or focused coaching for everyday problems.
Online therapy gives flexible options to fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be used for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and at varied times, helping therapy fit around parenting, work and other commitments.
