About Joanne
Joanne Raisbury-Harrison is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and BACP registration. She focuses on creating a respectful and compassionate space for people who are facing difficult emotional challenges. Joanne aims to meet each person where they are and tailor conversations to individual needs.
Her practice includes supporting people with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder and depression. She also helps with guilt and shame, building self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Background and approach
Joanne works to understand how these concerns affect daily life and relationships. Sessions are built around conversation and practical steps that suit each person. She adapts pacing and techniques to what a client finds most helpful.
The goal is to help people notice small changes that add up over time. Joanne emphasises sensitivity and respect in every session. She encourages people to set their own goals and brings a steady, patient approach to working through painful experiences.
Many clients start with short-term work and adjust as their needs change. For anyone who is nervous about beginning therapy, Joanne offers a warm introduction and a clear structure for next steps. She invites people to take the first step when they are ready and supports them through the early stages of change.

Focus areas and approaches
What Joanne works with
Everything Joanne lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne will discuss options with each person, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The focus is on practical tools and helping people practise new ways of coping between sessions.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing written reflection and people who find text communication more comfortable. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, study and daily life.
