About Joanna
Joanna Kay is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. Joanna also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, self-love and women's issues.
She has worked in charities, schools and private mental health clinics. That background means she has practical experience with people from different walks of life. Joanna offers creative options in sessions, including art, poetry and writing exercises when these feel helpful.
In sessions she listens closely to what someone says and what they struggle with. Together she and the client set clear therapy goals and try straightforward strategies to move forward. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and build small, manageable changes rather than sweeping programmes.
Joanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and creative practices to support emotional work. She will explore how attachment, past losses and shame affect day-to-day feelings and relationships. The work often mixes talking with exercises that help name feelings and try new ways of coping.
Sessions are offered in English and Joanna accepts international clients. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic methods and how they work online
Joanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside creative practices. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with stress, depression and confidence issues by giving practical steps to try between sessions.Another strand of her work addresses attachment and abandonment themes. This involves exploring past relationship patterns and how they shape current responses, then practising different ways of relating and communicating. Creative methods such as art or writing are used to access feelings that are hard to say out loud and to try new responses in a contained way.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Joanna will discuss options with the client and decide collaboratively which techniques suit their goals and preferences. That shared planning guides what happens in subsequent sessions.
The biography lists live chat, telephone and video as modes she uses. Please confirm which of these formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week by removing travel, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing sessions by phone when video is not convenient.
