Joanne Janvier, BACP

Joanne Janvier is a United Kingdom-based therapist and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), bringing 16 years of professional experience to her practice. She supports people facing a wide range of concerns - from stress, anxiety and depression to trauma, grief and relationship difficulties - and applies a flexible, client-focused approach that suits each person she works with.

Her background includes work with self-esteem and motivation issues, coping with life changes, executive and professional coaching, compassion fatigue, OCD and addictions. Joanne also attends to challenges related to parenting, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and bipolar disorder, and she works with clients from LGBT communities and those navigating adoption, foster care or abandonment issues. She accepts international clients and adapts her methods to meet diverse needs.

Joanne draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She strives to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings while she provides guidance and practical tools. Recognizing that seeking change takes courage, Joanne focuses on collaboration and steady support as clients work toward clearer goals and improved wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Joanne Janvier integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to support clients in online settings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take meaningful action toward a more valued life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and adult relationships influence current patterns, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and collaboration, offering a respectful, non-directive space where clients can articulate goals and discover their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joanne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts tools and interventions as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family and travel. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to choose the format that best suits their communication style and daily life.
