About Joanne
Joanne (Jo) Webster is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and trauma. She has worked in mental health for ten years and aims to make the first steps into therapy as straightforward as possible. Jo is registered with the NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom.
Sessions are offered in English. Jo draws on a range of therapeutic approaches rather than using a single method.
Background and approach
She uses client-centred listening to build trust and then combines tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas to make sense of patterns. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when these suit a person’s goals.
Her background includes seven years supporting people in palliative care, working with those facing life-limiting illness and their family members through bereavement and end-of-life issues. That experience informs how she supports grief, loss and complex emotional responses after bereavement. Jo adapts sessions to the needs of each person.
Practical techniques for managing anxiety and stress are blended with time to reflect on past patterns that influence current feelings. She aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and make decisions. Sessions can include talking work, guided imagery or brief focused tasks depending on the situation.
Jo describes herself as approachable and a good listener, and she works collaboratively to set goals and pace the work to each person’s comfort.

Online support
How Jo uses practical approaches online
Jo often uses hypnotherapy to support relaxation and guided imagery work that helps with stress, grief and habit change. Hypnotherapy here refers to guided attention and suggestion techniques that can calm the nervous system and encourage new ways of coping.She also works with client-centred therapy which focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to each person's goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted as the relationship develops.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins and easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-spot support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between sessions.
