About Joanne
Joanne Lilley offers a person-centred counselling approach that focuses on listening and understanding. She uses gentle, respectful conversation to help people clarify their feelings and find their own solutions. Joanne is named here to make it clear who you would be meeting in sessions. She holds BACP as a professional credential and has sixteen years of experience working in the UK.
Joanne helps people handle stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting or family strains. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, and issues around identity and sexuality. Adoption and foster care matters are listed among her additional areas of focus and may be raised in sessions.
Her work follows the principles of Client-Centred Therapy. That means the conversation centres on the person in front of her, not on a set treatment plan. Joanne aims to adapt the pace and topics to each person's needs and goals. She is clear that she does not provide diagnostic services and will recommend consulting a general health practitioner if a formal diagnosis is required.
Joanne describes herself as respectful and compassionate. She tailors the way she talks and plans work with each person. The emphasis is on helping people move forward in ways that fit their life and values.

Client-Centred Care Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and reflection. The counsellor offers empathy and open questions so people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and identity-related issues.The same person-centred ideas apply whether conversations happen face to face or online. Joanne aims to work collaboratively, helping each person clarify what they want from counselling and adjusting the way they work as needs and goals become clearer. Deciding on an approach is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to schedule short check-ins or regular weekly sessions around work or childcare. The specific session options supported should be confirmed before booking, so readers are advised to check available formats during the sign-up and scheduling steps.
