Joanna Walsh, NCPS

Joanna Walsh is a counsellor who focuses on trauma, loss, neurodiversity and the sense of feeling disconnected. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by past events, low self-worth, depression or struggles that make everyday life harder. Joanna uses listening, gentle reflection and creative methods to help clients find ways to cope and change.

She offers a calm, personalised approach that blends talking therapy with art-based techniques when words are difficult. Sessions look at patterns learned over time and how those patterns still affect daily life. The goal is practical - to notice what helps, and try alternatives that feel safer and more useful.

Jo has three years of experience and holds the NCPS credential. She works from the United Kingdom and meets people in English. Her practice includes online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

People often come with stress, anxiety, grief or sleep problems, and Joanna also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, career uncertainty or life changes. She can work with issues related to ADHD, autism and chronic health concerns while paying attention to emotional safety.

Therapy with Joanna is collaborative and steady. She helps clients move at a pace that suits them, using both practical strategies and reflective work to build coping, confidence and clearer direction.

How Joanna’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client’s pace. It helps people feel heard and can be especially useful when someone is unsure where to begin.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses simple exercises and practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and tackle low mood.

Joanna will work with each person to choose or combine approaches that fit their situation. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative and may change as work progresses, with the therapist checking in about what helps and what doesn’t.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life while retaining continuity of care.
