About Joanne
Joanne Willmot is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience helping people who feel stuck after life changes. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and supports people facing career shifts, grief, trauma and issues around identity and intimacy. Joanne also works with difficulties such as addiction, ADHD, sleep and eating problems, and caregiver stress.
Her style is down-to-earth and person-centred. She builds a working relationship before asking for change. Conversations are straightforward. She balances gentle listening with challenge when it will help the client move forward.
In sessions Joanne aims to increase a client's insight and awareness. She uses that understanding so people can make decisions that fit their life. Conversations may look at patterns from attachment, and practical thinking tools to tackle anxiety or unhelpful behaviours.
Joanne draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness alongside a client-centred approach. That mix is used to address practical problems like communication, coping with chronic illness, or moving on after loss. She also offers support around boundaries, codependency and commitment worries.
She offers sessions in English and can work with international clients. Costs vary by location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How Joanne uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. It can help when someone feels directionless after a job change, relationship breakup or health event.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems by testing unhelpful thinking and building new habits.
Joanne combines these approaches with a client-centred stance, which keeps the conversation grounded in what matters to the person. She and the client work together to choose which methods to try, adjusting based on how useful they feel.
Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around life commitments, reduce travel time and offer quicker check-ins between appointments. The original biography lists phone, video calling and instant messaging as ways they have met; confirm current session formats before booking. Sessions are arranged to suit a client's schedule and needs rather than promising a specific outcome.
