Joanne Janvier, BACP

Joanne Janvier helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and major life changes. She supports those coping with addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, work pressure, ADHD, bipolar and depression. Joanne also offers coaching for professional development and help with sleep, eating and anger problems.

Joanne works in a warm, non-judgemental way. She aims to make conversations straightforward and practical. People can expect a calm space to talk about difficult feelings and to explore what matters to them.

Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based ideas, client-centred conversation, cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour tools. Joanne uses these to help people notice patterns, try new choices and build better coping skills.

With 16 years of experience, Joanne has worked across a wide range of concerns including compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, body image and neurodiversity. She helps clients untangle overlapping problems like co-morbidity and codependency, and supports those navigating caregiving or age-related challenges.

Joanne offers sessions in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her profile notes a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, shown as BACP. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How Joanne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about and can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and supports the client to find their own solutions, which can help with self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is something to work out together. Joanne will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. The plan can be adjusted as you go, so therapy stays practical and relevant to your needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, live chat gives a quick way to check in, and messaging can suit short updates or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping sessions focused on progress.
