About Joanne

Joanne Lilley is a UK-based therapist with 16 years of professional experience working in a person-centred way. She practices using Client-Centered Therapy, supporting adults, families, teenagers and couples through a range of challenges from relationship difficulties and family conflict to work-related stress, anxiety and addiction. Joanne also assists with trauma and abuse, identity and sexuality concerns, motivation and self-esteem, confidence building, life coaching and personal development aimed at emotional healing and moving forward toward one’s potential.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, tailoring conversations and therapeutic plans to meet individual needs and circumstances. Sessions are conducted in English and Joanne is available to work with clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. She holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Joanne is clear that she does not provide formal diagnoses; anyone seeking a diagnostic assessment should consult their GP or general health practitioner. Taking the first step can be challenging and Joanne encourages people who are ready to begin to check her schedule and book a session. Depending on availability, an appointment may be possible within a few hours.

Person-Centred Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. It helps people explore feelings, clarify values and build self-understanding, which can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life changes.

Person-centred counselling, the same approach described with a different name, emphasises genuine, respectful connection and practical emotional support. It is often helpful for coping with stress, grief, addiction and identity or sexuality questions by encouraging personal growth and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Joanne will work collaboratively to identify what fits best based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This means adjusting the style and focus of sessions together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Joanne is offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make access easier for people in different locations, for varied schedules and for those who prefer written or spoken modes of communication.
