About Joanne
Psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS), 10 years' experience. Joanne (Jo) Webster works with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. She uses a mix of approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic methods.
Jo explains therapy in straightforward terms and focuses on practical conversations. Sessions explore what is happening now and how past patterns influence current responses. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking or behaviour, try different ways of coping, and practice small changes that make daily life easier.
Her background includes seven years in palliative care, supporting people with terminal illness and their relatives before and after bereavement. This led to a particular focus on grief and loss, including support after the death of a baby, child, young person or other significant person.
Jo trained and practised in the United Kingdom and is registered with the NCPS. Over a decade she has worked with adults, children and young people in individual, couple and group settings. Her work has addressed issues such as addiction, domestic violence, attachment and dissociation.
In sessions she draws on several models rather than a single method. That allows her to use client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural tasks, psychodynamic reflection or solution-focused steps when these suit the issue. She asks about practical goals and helps plot small, manageable steps toward those goals.

How Jo uses therapy approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps someone feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them, which is useful for grief and family issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and then tests small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. This approach suits anxiety, stress and some trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps and adjusting the plan over time.
Practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting meetings into work or caregiving schedules and avoiding travel time. For some people, shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video can be useful for steady progress. The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats.
