About Joanna
Joanna Walsh is a counsellor who combines empathic listening with practical support. She helps people who feel disconnected, overwhelmed by past experiences, or unsure how to move forward. Jo invites clients to name what matters and to take small steps toward change.
She has three years of experience and holds NCPS, which is listed as her credential. Her work often focuses on trauma and loss, including PTSD and complex trauma, and on the emotional impact of abuse. She also supports people adjusting to neurodiversity diagnoses such as ADHD or Autism, and those managing chronic pain or long-term illness.
Jo uses a blend of talking and creative methods to make sense of difficult feelings. She offers therapeutic art-based techniques when words are hard to find, alongside conversational approaches that help uncover recurring patterns. Sessions aim to identify coping strategies that still help and to gently let go of those that do not.
Her interests include anxiety, grief, self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting strain, career concerns and life transitions. Jo describes therapy as a collaborative process where safety, pacing and personal meaning guide each step. She supports exploration at a pace chosen by the person in the room.
Jo works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients use the site's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How Jo’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are, helping them feel heard and accepted while they decide what changes they want to make. This approach can help with feelings of disconnection, low self-esteem and the aftermath of trauma.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and trying out small, practical changes. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and practical coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of work with the therapist. Jo will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and may blend approaches as those needs shift over time.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to combine talking and creative exercises, such as art-based prompts, by using everyday materials at home. These practical benefits help people keep therapy working around their life rather than the other way round.
