About Joanne

Joanne Willmot is a person-centered counsellor with 9 years of clinical experience who works in a practical, down-to-earth way while maintaining a gentle and supportive manner. She focuses on building trust and a strong therapeutic relationship, offering encouragement and challenge when it will help a client move forward. As a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she follows professional standards that guide her practice.

Joanne aims to help clients increase insight and self-awareness so they can make positive changes, come to terms with difficult aspects of themselves, and cultivate greater self-compassion. She offers support, guidance, and validation, tailoring her approach to each person’s needs and pace. Joanne is open and approachable, encouraging people to reach out when they are ready to begin.

After an initial enquiry Joanne aims to reply within 24 hours, and she and the client can then arrange sessions by phone, video call, or instant messaging. She is accepting new clients and is able to work with people internationally from the United Kingdom who prefer remote sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care

Joanne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and supports action in line with personal values - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace of change; this approach supports self-awareness, self-compassion, and personal growth across many concerns such as stress, low self-esteem, and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Joanne, use these options to increase accessibility and keep the focus on meaningful therapeutic work.
