About Joanne
Joanne Janvier is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, life transitions, anger and related concerns. She also offers coaching for work and career-related pressures and helps with addiction and relationship difficulties.
Joanne keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, manageable steps a person can try between sessions.
Her approach is conversational. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals and agreed actions. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with alternatives, for example managing strong reactions, rebuilding trust after conflict, or addressing coping that feels stuck.
Joanne has worked across many issues including grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar and depression, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people with attachment, adoption and ageing-related matters, and with challenges linked to chronic illness or caring roles.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are handled via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarity about values and small committed actions that move someone toward the life they want, which can help when anger gets in the way of important relationships.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In practice this means identifying triggers, testing unhelpful beliefs and trying alternative responses to reduce reactive patterns over time.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance and handling conflict more calmly. Skills training can be useful when someone needs concrete tools to steady intense moments.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, try an approach, and adjust what they do based on what helps most. That means the plan can shift as understanding grows and priorities change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone options depending on practical needs rather than having to travel to an appointment.
