About Joanne

Joanne Saulter is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She uses warm, collaborative listening to help people untangle day-to-day pressures, past hurts, and difficult feelings. Joanne is a BACP counsellor and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions.

She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief or life transitions. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image, and anger. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas, and she can discuss related concerns directly with clients.

Joanne aims to help people clarify what they want to change and to set realistic goals. Her work invites people to speak about their experiences at their own pace while she reflects and explores options with them. When faith matters to a person, she can include a Christian perspective, but only if the client wants that.

She has five years of clinical experience and has worked with adults and young people. Joanne has particular experience supporting carers and adults on the autism spectrum. Her sessions emphasise listening, building trust, and practical steps people can try between meetings.

People who choose Joanne can expect a respectful, non-judgemental approach that values their knowledge of their own life. She aims to help people find clearer ways to cope, make decisions, and move towards the changes they want.

How her approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It focuses on small, value-driven actions rather than trying to stop every uncomfortable feeling. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build safer, more trusting ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Joanne works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She listens to the client’s experience and adapts the work so it feels manageable and relevant.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to involve faith-based reflections when that is important to the client. Registered or accredited professionals such as Joanne aim to make therapy practical and workable alongside everyday life.
