Joanne Janvier, BACP

Joanne Janvier is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and life changes. She helps with confidence and self-esteem, career and executive coaching, and concerns such as grief, addictions and relationship difficulties. Joanne also works with a range of mental health issues including depression, bipolar disorder and ADHD.

Joanne draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people make small, useful changes. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on steps they can take between meetings.

Her approach combines core talking therapies with skills-based tools to manage difficult emotions and day-to-day challenges. This can include learning ways to handle unhelpful thoughts, build routines for sleep and eating, and practise grounding techniques for anxiety. Joanne also pays attention to attachment patterns and life events that shape relationships.

With 16 years of experience and BACP registration, she brings steady, practical support to sessions. People often work with her to regain motivation, rebuild confidence or cope with long-term caregiving and health concerns. Aging and geriatric issues are among the additional areas she lists.

Joanne aims to be a guide rather than an authority, working collaboratively so each person shapes their own goals and pace of change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Joanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that fit well with online talking sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions, which can be practised between meetings and reviewed remotely. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how past connections shape present reactions, often through conversational exercises and reflective tasks.

She views finding the right approach as a team effort. During early sessions she will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adapt methods to what feels most useful. The emphasis is on a collaborative plan that can be adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep a record of agreed actions and practise skills between meetings, which can help maintain momentum.
