About Joanne
Joanne Rothery is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and problems with sleeping. Joanne also helps with career concerns, anger, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
She describes her style as person-centred. That means she focuses on what each person brings and listens without judgement. Joanne aims to make sessions straightforward so people can talk about difficult things without pressure.
Joanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside person-centred and trauma-focused methods. In practice this means she notices unhelpful thoughts and habits with a person, and then looks for different ways of responding. She also works with memories of harm or abuse in ways that are paced to the individual’s needs.
Her work includes practical steps such as looking at patterns in thinking, trying small behavioural changes and discussing coping strategies for daily life. Joanne pays attention to relationship and attachment concerns, body image, codependency and issues linked to adoption or foster care when these come up.
She welcomes people who want help getting more calm, improving sleep, reducing urges linked to addiction, or handling big life changes. Sessions are framed around what the person wants to focus on, with clear aims and practical tasks where useful.
How Joanne’s approaches work in online sessions
Joanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a practical way, helping people notice patterns of thought and try different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems and recurring unhelpful behaviours.She also works from a person-centred perspective, which means the session is paced and directed by what the person brings. Trauma-focused therapy is used when memories of harm or abuse need careful attention; that work is steady and aims to reduce the hold those memories have on day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will talk through goals, test methods and adjust the plan based on how a person responds. That collaboration helps decide whether more CBT-style tasks, listening-centred sessions or trauma-focused work is most helpful.
The practical benefits of doing this work online include fitting sessions into busy days and keeping contact without travel.

Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid commute time and fit therapy around work or family commitments.
