Joanne Saulter, BACP

Joanne Saulter is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with five years of experience who tailors support to the individual needs of each person she works with. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by everyday tasks, those carrying unresolved issues from the past, and anyone seeking clearer direction; her aim is to listen, to explore feelings together, and to support clients in working toward realistic goals they choose.

Her practice is grounded in person-centered values that prioritise a warm, respectful, and collaborative environment where clients can move at their own pace. Joanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with the Association of Christian Counsellors (ACC) - both organisations that relate to professional standards and faith-informed practice in counselling. She can integrate a faith perspective when a client requests it, and she respects and works sensitively with people of all beliefs and backgrounds.

Joanne has experience working with adults and young people, including carers and adults with autism. She supports people with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, neurodiversity, body image, chronic illness, codependency, and other complex needs.

Practical options for working with Joanne include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility to fit therapy into everyday life in the United Kingdom.

Approaches That Guide Online Support

Joanne draws on client-centered therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-based work to shape online sessions that meet individual needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-directive space where the client’s experience leads the process and personal growth is supported at the client’s pace. ACT helps people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns of connection and security in relationships, helping clients understand how early and current relational experiences influence emotions and interaction styles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Joanne works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and pace together with clients so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access support from home or work and allow registered professionals to provide consistent, ongoing care in ways that suit each client’s life.
