About Joanna

Joanna Kay is an accredited, licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom who combines a postgraduate MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy with three years of professional practice. She has worked across charities, schools and private mental health clinics, supporting people from a wide range of ages and backgrounds.

Joanna specialises in stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and she also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, self-love and women’s issues. She offers a non-judgemental, empathetic and warm therapeutic space where clients and therapist collaborate to set clear, achievable goals and develop tailored strategies to move forward.

Her practice includes creative therapy options, incorporating art, poetry and writing practices to complement talk-based work. Joanna listens carefully to each person’s needs and preferences to find approaches that best support learning and growth. Sessions are available by video call, telephone, live chat or in-app messaging, with weekly appointments arranged at times that suit the client. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a supportive, compassionate approach to help clients rediscover self-compassion, confidence and authenticity.

Evidence-based and creative approaches for online therapy

Joanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside creative expressive methods to support change. Evidence-based techniques involve structured, research-informed strategies that help people understand and manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression and relationship difficulties; these approaches focus on practical tools and gradual skill-building to improve day-to-day coping. Creative therapies, such as working with art, poetry and writing, offer alternative ways to explore feelings and memories when words alone may not be enough and can be particularly helpful for processing trauma, identity and self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joanna works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time to suit changing needs and to support steady progress.

Online therapy with Joanna is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access timely support and continue therapy in a way that fits day-to-day life while working with a registered professional who guides the process.
