About Joanne
Joanne Rachel Winsor is a counsellor with five years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Joanne focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, and she also supports those facing parenting pressures and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues.
She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the heart of each session.
Background and approach
That means conversations begin with what matters most to the individual, and she adapts the pace to the person's needs. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with simple steps to try between meetings. Joanne also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and track progress.
For people recovering from difficult events she incorporates trauma-focused methods to address upsetting memories and build coping skills. The mix is chosen to suit the presenting problem rather than follow a single formula. She speaks English and offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Notes on cost indicate sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and that fees vary with location and therapist availability. Joanne approaches her work with sensitivity and respect. She aims to create a space where people can talk honestly and begin to make changes at a manageable pace.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on what a person wants to achieve and on small steps that move them towards those goals. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, which can help with motivation, managing anxiety and navigating life changes.
The best approach is worked out together. Joanne will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then choose or combine methods to suit the individual. The process is collaborative, so adjustments can be made as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits modern life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer brief, written exchanges or need flexible scheduling. Registered and accredited professionals provide these formats, which make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily commitments.
