About Joanne

Joanne Sage is a UK-licensed therapist with nine years of professional experience as a practising counsellor and more than twenty years working within the wider field of mental health. She holds BACP accreditation - the professional association for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom - and combines that professional foundation with a compassionate, practical approach to support people facing a range of concerns.

Her work has included roles at several charities and community organisations, including Together working for mental well-being, Place2Be, Integrated Neurological Services and youth counselling services, alongside a private practice. This varied background informs a flexible, person-focused way of working that aims to meet each person where they are.

Joanne specialises in helping people with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem, confidence issues and depression. She creates a nonjudgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly, and she tailors interventions to suit individual needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Working as an integrative counsellor, she draws on a range of therapeutic methods to help clients make sense of what is happening in their lives, build stronger boundaries, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. A central focus of her work is building resilience - understood as a set of learnable strategies to adapt to challenge - and helping clients increase distress tolerance and access their personal strengths.

Joanne also explores family history and intergenerational patterns to reveal how the past can shape present behaviour, and she uses mindfulness practices and somatic understanding to support people who carry trauma in the body. She offers steady, empathetic support for those ready to take steps toward greater wellbeing and personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches for remote care

Joanne primarily draws on attachment based therapy, client centered therapy and mindfulness techniques. Attachment based therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and helps people understand and change unhelpful relationship dynamics. Client centered therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, offering empathic listening and support so the person can discover their own solutions and build self trust. Mindfulness therapy teaches present moment awareness and practical exercises to reduce rumination and support long term management of anxiety and depression.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Joanne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine these approaches to create a personalised plan, and Joanne will guide clients in choosing strategies that feel most helpful for them.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs. These remote options support consistent access to care and allow Joanne to work with clients in ways that match their comfort and lifestyle while maintaining continuity of therapeutic work.
