About Joanne

Joanne Sage is a UK-based therapist with ten years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She works in an integrative way, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods so that sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and life circumstances. Her approach blends practical tools with reflective exploration to help clients make sense of what is happening for them and to identify clear steps for moving forward.

Joanne has worked with a variety of organisations including Together for mental well-being, Place2Be, Integrated Neurological Services and youth counselling services, alongside her private practice. Those roles have informed her work with issues such as relationship and intimacy concerns, coping with life changes, addictions, parenting challenges, and complex responses to trauma. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, career pressures, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

As an integrative and trauma-informed practitioner she places emphasis on building trust and exploring family patterns to understand how early experiences affect present behaviour. She offers a calm, nonjudgemental space where clients can examine boundaries, resilience and the ways trauma may be held in the body, and she uses mindfulness practices to help anchor people in the present.

Joanne is BACP accredited - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she aims to help clients identify strengths, increase distress tolerance and develop practical strategies for ongoing personal growth and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and feelings in current connections. It helps people understand patterns of trust, abandonment and closeness, and is useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues and long-standing emotional responses.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist offers empathic listening and support while the client leads the pace and topics of sessions, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity and finding personal direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learning practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and for developing coping strategies in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joanne will work collaboratively with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her practice as those needs evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy stays relevant and useful over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule appointments around work, family and other commitments. For many people this accessibility supports consistent engagement with therapy and allows registered professionals to offer continuity of care across different stages of a client’s journey.
