Joanne (Jo) Warren , BACP

Joanne (Jo) Warren helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or worn down by life. She listens with care and aims to make the first steps of talking feel simple. Jo keeps the conversation grounded and practical so people can start to notice small changes.

Jo uses a gentle, person-focused way of working. She pays attention to what matters to each person and follows their pace. Conversations may include practical problem solving, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, or techniques to reduce stress and improve sleep.

Over 12 years she has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, eating or body image concerns, and workplace stress. Jo has experience with trauma-related difficulties and with neurodiverse presentations such as autism and ADHD.

Jo is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can choose what suits them. Sessions are available to people in the United Kingdom and are held in English.

Her approach blends client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness. Jo may also use EMDR-informed methods or hypnotherapy when appropriate. She works collaboratively to help people build coping strategies and plan next steps.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Jo aims to make the process straightforward so people can focus on making changes that matter to them.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In this approach the therapist mirrors concerns, helps untangle feelings and supports people to find their own solutions; it suits those who need space to be heard and make sense of their experience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and stress management.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used for processing distressing memories. In sessions the therapist and client work together to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the symptoms that follow.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit best with the person's goals and preferences. That plan can change as therapy progresses, so it stays useful and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are like face-to-face meetings and allow visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations in the United Kingdom.
