About Joanne

Joanne Leadbetter is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional practice and a BACP credential, which indicates membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She combines formal clinical training with decades of hands-on experience supporting young people - drawing on more than 30 years of work with children and adolescents - and brings the perspective of being in her 50s to her therapeutic work.

Joanne works with a broad range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, ADHD and neurodiversity, stress and anxiety, addictions, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and issues affecting LGBT clients. She also supports people coping with life changes, attachment difficulties, codependency, isolation and loneliness, and problems around impulsivity, jealousy, and control.

Her practice is grounded in a client-centered approach that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Joanne tailors conversations and treatment plans to the individual needs of each person she sees, aiming to create a collaborative space where clients can explore goals and make meaningful changes. She understands that seeking help takes courage and frames the therapeutic process as a step toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Joanne practices Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that places the client at the heart of the therapeutic process by focusing on empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard. This method helps individuals explore personal values, relationships, and life choices in a supportive environment and can be especially useful for work on self-esteem, relationship and parenting concerns, and coping with life transitions.

Joanne also emphasizes a collaborative, tailored way of working where the choice of techniques and pace emerges from the client-therapist partnership. She will help clients identify goals, test what feels most helpful, and adjust the approach to match needs, preferences, and practical circumstances.

Online therapy with Joanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals while fitting therapy into everyday life and routines.
