More about Joanne
- 14 years' experience
- Female
- AASW
I am a warm and compassionate Therapist with fifteen years of experience supporting children, young people, and families through challenging and often complex circumstances.
My work spans family therapy, children and young people’s mental health, and parenting skills development. I take a nurturing, trauma-informed approach, always placing the child’s voice, safety, and wellbeing at the centre.
I believe that building a genuine and trusting relationship is core to therapy and is at the heart of my practice. I work openly and collaboratively with families, recognising their strengths and supporting them to build confidence, stability, and connection.
Outside of my professional life, I am mum to 11-year-old neuro sparkle child, I have a busy, household with a labradoodle Finn and demanding ginger cat Obe-wan (we are fans of Star Wars). I love reading and spending time in nature, my next challenge is to learn cake decorating.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
