Joanne Breslin offers person-centred counselling that focuses on the individual's experience.
About Joanne
Joanne Breslin offers person-centred counselling that focuses on the individual's experience. She works to create a calm, down-to-earth space where people can talk through what is overwhelming them. Joanne brings four years of practice and a BACP registration to her work in the United Kingdom.
Her approach puts the client at the heart of sessions. She listens closely and helps people make sense of how past events and their surroundings affect current feelings and choices.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and tailored, not one-size-fits-all. Joanne supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, body image, ADHD, and challenges such as chronic illness or caregiving strain.
Sessions address the immediate problem and the patterns that keep it repeating. She blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused tools when these fit the person’s needs. This allows for both exploring feelings and trying small, achievable changes between sessions.
Joanne keeps the focus on what will help most in everyday life. People describe her as approachable and genuine, someone who meets them without judgement. Joanne encourages a steady pace and aims to make talking easier, so clients can practise new ways of coping and find more calm in their daily lives.

Approaches Joanne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT techniques can help when anxiety, depression or unhelpful habits get in the way of everyday life. Solution-focused work complements this by setting small, achievable goals and identifying strengths that move people forward quickly.
Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Joanne will work with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences, adjusting her methods as needed during the course of therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit around busy days or lower bandwidth, chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect before they write. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, home and family life.
