Joanne Kevan, BACP

Joanne Kevan offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, work pressure, sleep problems and issues around intimacy. Joanne is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Joanne uses an integrative counselling style that blends different evidence-based techniques to match each person's needs. She aims to create an open space where people can talk without judgement and explore what lies beneath their concerns. Conversations focus on finding practical ways to cope as well as understanding deeper patterns. In sessions Joanne listens for core themes that keep difficulties repeating. She and the client then try out approaches that help with emotions, thinking patterns and daily routines. This can include short-term coping tools and longer-term work to address past hurt. Joanne has three years of professional practice and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She welcomes international clients and offers a range of session formats to suit different lives. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Joanne aims to make that step clearer and more manageable. Her work is straightforward and warm, focused on helping people build momentum and find greater balance in day-to-day life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Joanne uses an integrative approach that draws on evidence-based techniques to meet each person's needs. One commonly used technique focuses on learning practical coping skills for anxiety and stress - this means identifying triggers, practising simple breathing and grounding exercises, and building small routines that reduce overwhelm. It helps people who need quick, usable tools for daily life.

Another strand concentrates on working through past trauma and abuse at a manageable pace. This involves creating a steady plan to process difficult memories and the feelings that come with them, so the work feels contained and tolerable. It can help those who want to understand how past events shape present reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Joanne will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods as the work progresses. Together they choose techniques that feel helpful and realistic for the person's situation.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this kind of flexible work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is helpful, phone sessions can fit around busy days or low bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or times when typing feels easier. These options make it straightforward to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into day-to-day life.
