About Joanne
Joanne Ramshaw is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and grief.
Her day-to-day work focuses on practical steps people can use to manage low self-esteem, motivation problems and life transitions. She also supports those coping with health-related changes, chronic illness and the emotional effects of bereavement. Joanne aims to be direct and non-judgemental in sessions while helping people name the problems they face.
Joanne uses a mix of approaches to match the issue at hand. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. Attachment-based and narrative ideas help when relationship patterns and personal stories are important to understand.
People who come to Joanne often want straightforward, practical conversations about next steps. She works in plain language and breaks larger problems into manageable tasks. This can include short exercises between sessions and repeated check-ins to track progress.
Joanne practices from the United Kingdom and conducts work in English. Sessions are arranged through the platform's matching and booking system, starting with a short questionnaire and a first appointment to set goals and plan onward work.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Joanne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviours that keep stress or low mood going.She also draws on attachment ideas when relationship patterns matter, using discussions about repeated dynamics to make new choices. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals often offer ways to schedule sessions that fit around work or family routines, and Joanne uses the platform's matching and booking steps to set up an initial session and ongoing appointments.
