About Joanne
Joanne Maddison is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and she also helps with parenting, career difficulties, sleep problems, anger, and addictive behaviours.
Joanne uses a blend of approaches that look at both past experiences and present-day patterns. She draws on psychodynamic ideas and Jungian thinking to notice recurring relationship themes. She also uses client-centred methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the client now.
Mothers and people navigating pregnancy-related change will find she understands the particular pressures that period can bring. Joanne’s background in healthcare informs how she talks about illness, chronic pain, caring roles and related stressors. She also works with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment questions and family of origin concerns.
Practical, straightforward discussions are a feature of her work. Sessions commonly look at how thoughts, bodily reactions and behaviour link together. Mindfulness and somatic ideas are brought in to help with grounding, managing tension and noticing early signs of escalation.
Joanne asks clients to be active participants in planning what to try next. She encourages small experiments between sessions to test new ways of responding. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
How Joanne’s approaches translate to online work
Joanne commonly blends client-centred listening and mindfulness work with psychodynamic and Jungian ideas. Client-centred work focuses on what the person wants to address now and keeps the pace driven by the client. Mindfulness practices help with noticing stress responses and calming physical tension. Psychodynamic and Jungian work pays attention to recurring patterns from past relationships and how they show up in current life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt what she uses as the relationship develops. This is a collaborative process aimed at testing what helps and adjusting plans if something is not working.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and removing travel time so follow-ups can be shorter. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals often offer ways of working that suit different rhythms, such as shorter check-ins or practices that can be used between sessions to support everyday life.
