Joanne Saulter

Joanne Saulter is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses a person-centred approach. She holds BACP registration, and she offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life, mood or relationships.

Joanne asks straightforward questions to find out what matters to each person. She helps clients name what they want to change and sets realistic goals together. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of past and present issues, and building simple steps forward.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside person-centred principles. That mix lets her adapt to the needs of the person in the room while keeping conversations grounded and practical.

Joanne has five years' clinical experience and has worked with adults and young people. She also has experience supporting carers and adults on the autism spectrum across a variety of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, eating and anger.

She can include faith perspectives in sessions when clients want that element. Faith is offered only at the client's request and never imposed. Clients can expect an empathetic, respectful and non-judgemental space to talk and plan next steps.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling, and it can help with intimacy-related issues and trust. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement, giving space for people to find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person’s needs and goals. She will adapt sessions over time, combining techniques as required and checking in about what feels helpful.

Details about specific online session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to include discussions about values, coping skills and relationship patterns without changing the day too much.
