About Joanne
Joanne Lindley is a counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression and the pain of bereavement. She also supports clients facing relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, low self-esteem and problems with sleep. Joanne works with issues around intimacy, parenting strain, career crossroads and life changes.
She also addresses trauma, anger, ADHD and concerns linked to identity and isolation. Joanne practises in the United Kingdom and is a BACP member, which means she follows standards set by that professional body.
Background and approach
She has seven years of experience and has worked in NHS settings with people from varied backgrounds and ages. Her clinical work includes supporting clients through grief, relationship distress and trauma-related symptoms. Her approach mixes clear, practical techniques with attention to emotional experience.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - for anxiety and thinks about patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships and personal wellbeing. Joanne uses Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ideas to prioritise listening and understanding each person's experience.
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them. In sessions she will work collaboratively to set goals and try straightforward ways to reduce distress. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, with evening and weekend options.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then a session is scheduled according to availability.

Online support
How her approaches work online and support emotional change
Joanne draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions that affect their close relationships. This approach looks at patterns of feeling and interaction so people can shift painful cycles and connect differently with others.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current reactions and relationship needs. Understanding these patterns can help people respond to stress and intimacy with more clarity and safety.
Client-Centred Therapy underpins her style, meaning she listens closely and follows the person's pace. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches suit the issues and the goals, adjusting methods as progress unfolds in a collaborative way.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life. Video lets people see facial cues and use the full session, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options aim to make regular contact more flexible and manageable for different routines and needs.
