About Joanne
Joanne Lindley helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and stress. She also supports those facing trauma, addictions, parenting pressures, sleep problems and questions about identity and life purpose. Joanne’s tone is warm and straightforward.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Joanne is a BACP member, and she has seven years of practice experience. She has worked in the NHS and with a broad range of people and issues.
Background and approach
That background informs a practical, down-to-earth way of working. Her sessions focus on what matters now. Joanne uses client-centred listening to understand each person’s story and priorities.
She combines that with cognitive behavioural approaches to reduce unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. She also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing relationship patterns and early life influences. Emotionally-focused work is used when emotions and closeness in relationships are the main concern.
Joanne adapts her approach to what each person needs in the room. Appointments are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Joanne aims to be flexible with evenings and weekend times so therapy can fit around work or study commitments.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled from there.

Online support
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Joanne will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match your needs. She adapts methods as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and practical rather than fixed from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video calls keep face-to-face interaction when needed, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins, and messaging or live chat suits quick updates or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
