About Joanne
BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists). 10 years' experience. Joanne Airey works with people who want to change how they feel, improve communication, reduce anxiety, or feel more in control.
Joanne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom and a member of the BACP. She has a decade of practice across hospices, private practice, schools and university settings. Her work addresses stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes among other concerns.
Her main approach is client-centred therapy, which focuses on the client's perspective and priorities in sessions. She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people identify practical steps forward. The biography notes she draws on CBT and psychodynamic ideas when these may help.
Joanne has extensive experience delivering sessions online and by phone. The profile states she has worked with a wide age range, from children to older people, though individual suitability should be discussed directly.
Sessions are described as aiming to build a strong, trusting relationship and to be non-judgemental. The BACP membership is shown as her professional association and is listed above.
Approaches used in online counselling
Joanne mainly uses client-centred therapy and solution-focused therapy in her online work. Client-centred therapy centres on the person's concerns and priorities, offering time to talk through feelings while the counsellor listens and reflects. This approach can help when someone wants clearer self-understanding or support with emotion regulation. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals, which can be useful for issues like coping with life changes, relationship communication, or reducing anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanne will work together with the client to decide what methods suit their needs and goals. That collaborative discussion helps shape later sessions and any use of other ideas she draws on, such as CBT or psychodynamic perspectives, when these seem helpful.
The biography states she has extensive experience delivering sessions online and by phone. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and help maintain contact when attending in person is difficult.
