Joanne Perkins, BACP

Joanne Perkins is a UK-credentialed therapist with five years of professional experience who holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, struggles with motivation, low self-esteem and confidence, and depression. Joanne combines respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care with practical support to help clients move toward greater wellbeing.

She adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s unique circumstances, recognizing that no two journeys are the same. Joanne places emphasis on listening closely and responding to individual needs so that therapy feels relevant and achievable. Her approach balances empathy with goal-focused work to help clients build skills and resilience.

Joanne understands that reaching out for help requires courage, and she aims to be a steady, supportive presence throughout the process. Whether someone is seeking short-term support for a specific difficulty or longer-term help to address deeper patterns, she offers tailored guidance and practical strategies to support meaningful change.

Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change

Joanne draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s own goals and experiences shape the pace and focus of sessions - this can be helpful for building self-esteem and working through painful experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learning practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods feel most useful, adjusting techniques based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences so therapy remains a joint effort.

Online therapy with Joanne can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. These options make it easier to fit sessions into daily life and to maintain momentum between meetings, while still receiving support from a registered professional who tailors the work to each client’s circumstances.
