Joanne Perkins, BACP

BACP. Five years' experience. Joanne Perkins works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and motivation issues using client-centred, cognitive behavioural and solution-focused approaches.

Joanne uses a conversational style in sessions. She aims to listen without judgement and to help people talk through what is happening for them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as on discussing feelings and patterns that cause difficulty.

Her work often looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact, and how small changes can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify goals and to build on what already works for a person. The client-centred element keeps the conversation grounded in the person’s own priorities.

Joanne has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her BACP credential is listed as BACP. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, intimacy questions, sleep and eating issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and career-related worries.

People can expect clear, short-term goals alongside space to talk about complex experiences such as trauma, abandonment and attachment struggles. She also addresses practical life questions like parenting, career choice and coping with change.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted at this time. Before booking, prospective clients should confirm current session options and any practical arrangements they need to make.
