Joanne Ramshaw, BACP, NCPS

Joanne Ramshaw is a counsellor who focuses on practical, person-centred help for stress, anxiety, relationships and grief. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to make each session straightforward and useful.

Joanne has five years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with low self-esteem, loss, motivation problems and major life changes. She also helps those affected by health conditions and long-term caregiving stress.

Her approach combines several well-known therapies. Joanne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Attachment-based and narrative ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and personal stories.

Sessions are delivered with warmth, honesty and without judgement. Joanne aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult feelings and plan small, realistic changes.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, and practises in the United Kingdom. Practical matters such as session cost use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps towards those values, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that cause stress and testing out new behaviours to see what helps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current friendships and partnerships and helps people try different ways of connecting.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals and what feels most helpful. Together they pick approaches and pace sessions so the plan suits the person's needs and preferences.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. It can also make wider scheduling options possible for people living in different parts of the United Kingdom. Registered or accredited professionals can guide a person on how to use online sessions in a way that fits their routine and goals.
