Joanne Rothery

Joanne Rothery is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and the after-effects of trauma. She supports those coping with addictions, sleep problems, low self-esteem and major life changes. Joanne brings a calm, accepting attitude and an emphasis on listening so people do not have to face their difficulties alone.

Joanne uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the centre of each session. She aims to create a steady, dependable space where people can bring whatever feels hard to talk about. That approach is gentle and focuses on understanding each person’s experience first.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and what can be changed to reduce distress. Trauma-focused work is offered when past events keep affecting daily life, with careful attention to safety and pacing. These methods are chosen to match what the client needs and wants to do.

Joanne holds the NCPS credential. NCPS stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and is shown as NCPS. She has four years of professional experience working with the concerns listed above.

Sessions are conducted in English and she sees clients in the United Kingdom, with international clients accepted. People wishing to begin can follow the site process to match with her and arrange a time to meet.

How Joanne’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-centred work focuses on the person rather than a fixed method. The therapist listens without judging and helps people find their own direction. This approach is useful for building trust and for talking through painful feelings like anger, shame or grief.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It offers practical steps to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, anger and sleep difficulties.

Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to experiences that keep affecting daily life. It aims to work at a pace that feels manageable and to reduce the intensity of reminders or flashbacks over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about pace and focus are made collaboratively so the plan fits the person’s situation.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around everyday life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals often use online meetings to keep continuity of support across locations.
