About Joanne
Joanne McKenzie is a Therapeutic Counsellor registered with the NCPS in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and LGBT concerns, and she also lists anger among the issues she supports. Joanne writes plainly and offers steady, practical help rather than quick fixes.
She uses a person-centred style in sessions, which means conversations focus on the client's experience and priorities. Clients can expect a listening approach that aims to clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. Joanne also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness ideas when people want tools to manage strong feelings or repetitive thoughts.
In practice she helps people talk through domestic abuse impacts, problems with confidence, grief and life transitions. She also works on relationship difficulties, workplace stress and challenges linked to identity and belonging. Joanne pays attention to patterns that feed into anger, such as resentment, shame or feeling overwhelmed, and she looks at practical steps a person can try between sessions.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Joanne usually sets clear, short-term goals with each person and checks progress as they go. She uses solution-focused techniques to keep therapy grounded in small, achievable changes.
People who prefer English can work with her. International clients are not accepted. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and book an initial session.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Joanne uses a person-centred way of working and draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred therapy focuses on reflecting what someone says, helping them find their own path and prioritising their goals. It is useful for people who need space to talk things through and make sense of their feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers practical exercises and ways to test unhelpful thinking, which can help with anxiety, anger and low mood. Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and make strong emotions easier to notice and manage.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's needs and what they want to achieve. That collaborative process helps shape the focus and pace of sessions.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to try practical exercises at home between sessions and then review how those worked in the next meeting.
