About Joanne

Joanne Rothery is a counselling therapist who focuses on men's wellbeing and common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She works in a person-centred way and aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk without feeling they must cope alone. Joanne holds the NCPS credential and brings four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Joanne’s sessions put the person at the centre. She listens without judgement and welcomes whatever someone wants to bring. This can include the painful parts of experience as well as hopes and strengths. Her style is steady and warm, designed to help people feel heard and understood.

She uses practical approaches alongside person-centred listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for example, can help spot thinking patterns that keep anxiety and low mood going. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to work with distressing memories and their effects on daily life.

Joanne has worked with issues such as grief, sleeping difficulties, anger, career worries, bipolar mood concerns and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment, dissociation, abandonment and a range of personality-related struggles. Her practice aims to help people make changes, build coping skills, or simply have someone steady to talk to.

Joanne works in English and accepts international clients. Sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Joanne's approaches translate to online therapy

Joanne works from a person-centred base that prioritises listening and acceptance. This approach focuses on providing a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful or confusing experiences and feel supported while they consider changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and introduces practical steps to test and change them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress management. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to work with distressing memories and the responses they trigger, aiming to reduce the hold those memories have on daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may blend listening with practical tools as appropriate.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and choose quieter surroundings that suit you. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions at times that match work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful support this way, and Joanne accepts international clients.
