Joanna Walsh, NCPS

Joanna Walsh is a counsellor who draws on three years of practice to support people feeling lost, overwhelmed or disconnected. She welcomes conversations about trauma, loss, depression and the strain of everyday life. Joanna also helps people navigate neurodiversity-related questions such as ADHD and autism, and the challenge of finding purpose in midlife.

Joanna centres one-to-one work around what each person needs in the moment. Sessions are conversational and paced to what the person can manage. She uses talking alongside creative art-based activities when words are hard to reach, which can help people name feelings and try new responses.

Her background includes an MSc in Psychology and qualification as a counsellor, and she holds NCPS as a credential. Joanna brings both professional training and personal experience to her practice. She describes her style as warm, empathic and personalised, with an emphasis on helping people feel seen and understood.

In practical terms Joanna helps with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, sleep struggles, parenting pressures, career questions and coping with life changes. She also offers support around trauma, sexual assault and domestic violence, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Her work may include looking at protective patterns, identifying what still helps, and gently trying different ways of coping.

People considering therapy can expect a collaborative process where therapist and client choose what to try next. Joanna works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. If a person wishes to begin, they follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to arrange sessions.

How Joanna’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person most needs. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what is heard so people can find their own answers; this helps with feeling disconnected or overwhelmed.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behaviour and try practical alternatives. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and managing unhelpful habits.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. It can help when patterns from earlier life keep repeating or when someone feels stuck without clear reasons.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanna will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try ways of working together that suit them. That process is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins easier to schedule, or appreciate not needing to be on camera for every conversation. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
