About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and life transitions. She works with people affected by trauma, grief, addiction and mood differences such as depression and bipolar. Joanne also supports those navigating relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, and identity concerns including LGBT matters.
Joanne uses clear, straightforward language in sessions. She aims to make conversations feel calm and non-judgemental.
Background and approach
Clients are invited to say what matters to them and to set practical goals for change. Her background includes 16 years of professional experience and BACP registration. That combination shapes a reflective but action-focused style.
Joanne often blends talking therapies with techniques to help people manage day-to-day difficulties and rebuild resilience. In practice she works collaboratively. She helps people spot patterns, try new coping skills and notice small steps that add up.
Therapeutic methods mentioned in her work include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and attachment-informed approaches. Joanne encourages a paced approach to change. She supports people who are unsure where to start, and those who want clearer structure in sessions, such as goal-setting or practical coaching.
The focus is on what will help the person move forward in everyday life.

Approaches that inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and values, then take small actions aligned with what matters to them. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current responses; it can help with intimacy, trust and some types of trauma. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, with practical techniques for managing mood, sleep and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanne works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She will discuss what might help, try options, and adjust the plan as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific online session types, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose calmer, less distracting surroundings and avoid camera use if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and practical skills for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
