Joanne Rothery, NCPS

Joanne Rothery is a counselling therapist working in a person-centred approach and practising from the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and brings four years of professional experience to her work, combining clinical training with personal lived experience to inform her understanding of stress, anxiety and trauma.

Joanne believes that having someone to talk to - someone who listens without judgment - can make a significant difference when life feels overwhelming. She offers a calm, accepting presence and aims to create a therapeutic space where clients feel seen and supported. Clients are invited to bring whatever they need to explore, knowing they will be met with sensitivity and compassion.

Her practice includes supporting people with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Joanne centres each person in the work together and aims to hold difficult feelings alongside moments of hope and joy, helping clients notice possibilities for change or simply providing a steady companion through challenging periods.

Whether someone wants to work toward feeling calmer, reconnect with a previous sense of self, or simply have someone to talk to during a difficult time, Joanne offers attentive, person-centred support tailored to each individual.

How Joanne blends therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and acceptance - it is often helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and exploring difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change them; it can be especially useful for managing anxiety, stress, and patterns that maintain low mood or avoidance.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact, supporting people who have experienced abuse, loss, or overwhelming life events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Joanne works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing so the work feels manageable and meaningful for each person.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access therapy from different locations and schedules. These options offer flexibility for busy lives, enable continuity of care when travel or relocation is a factor, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
