About Joanne
Therapeutic counsellor (NCPS), 4 years' experience. Joanne McKenzie focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and LGBT issues. She uses Person-centred work alongside cognitive and mindfulness ideas to help people talk through difficult feelings and practical problems.
Joanne keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what matters to each person and responds with client-centred techniques that foreground the person's own goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at patterns of thought and behaviour, and on Mindfulness practices to help with managing strong emotions.
Clients have brought a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and eating issues. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career decisions, anger, bipolar mood challenges and major life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, body image, forgiveness, separation and midlife questions.
Sessions aim to be practical. Joanne helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings. She uses solution-focused ideas when appropriate to set clear, short-term goals and review progress in plain terms.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Online work often blends Person-centred counselling with practical cognitive and mindfulness tools. Person-centred counselling focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building a trusting conversational space. It helps when someone needs to talk through feelings and make their own decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking and behaviour patterns. In sessions this can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them and trying small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative framing makes it easier to adjust focus if something isn’t working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so check current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or childcare, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of conversational therapy, brief skill practice and goal-focused planning in remote sessions.
