About Joanne
Joanne Saulter is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside person-centred principles to guide conversations about feelings and relationships. She draws on five years of practical experience and her BACP registration to help people untangle distressing emotions. Joanne aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk honestly and set realistic goals.
She listens for the patterns that make daily life feel hard. Many clients come because stress, anxiety, depression or past trauma are getting in the way.
Background and approach
Joanne also supports people dealing with grief, relationship worries, intimacy struggles, and parenting pressures. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She encourages people to name what matters to them and to test small changes between sessions.
Techniques are chosen to match the person rather than to follow a fixed script. Joanne is comfortable integrating a faith perspective when a client requests it, but she does not impose beliefs. She has experience with carers and with adults on the autism spectrum, and she works with young people and adults.
Sessions are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a suitable appointment is scheduled.

Online support
How emotion-focused and acceptance approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and name their feelings so they can work through difficult emotional patterns. It is often useful for those who feel stuck in recurring relationship or attachment-related struggles and for people wanting to understand intense emotions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then taking small steps toward a values-driven life. This approach is helpful for anxiety, stress and shifts people want to make in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods might suit best. The decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
