About Joanne
Joanne Saulter is a counsellor who works from a person-centred base. She uses a warm, collaborative style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and other life challenges. Joanne holds BACP registration, which she uses alongside an integrative approach to meet each person’s needs.
Her sessions begin by listening to the story you bring. She helps people set realistic goals and gently explores what might be keeping them stuck. Joanne can include a faith perspective when a client wants that included, and she makes clear that faith is only used with the client’s permission.
Joanne draws on several psychological approaches to tailor support. She works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. Attachment-focused ideas guide work on connection and relationship patterns. Client-centred principles keep the focus on the person’s experience.
She has five years of practice and experience supporting adults and young people. Recent work has involved carers and adults with autism across a range of concerns. That experience informs how she adapts pace and communication to suit individual needs.
People often come to Joanne for help with parenting strain, trauma and abuse, ADHD, depression, eating and body image issues, bipolar mood management, and life transitions. She aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space so people can explore practical steps and personal priorities.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It is useful for depression, anxiety and life transitions where values-based action matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour, and it can help with intimacy, trust and family-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and how they like to be supported. Together they decide which methods to try and make adjustments as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person’s needs.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can use quieter surroundings, fewer technical demands, or telephone-based sessions if that is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals often use these choices to help therapy fit everyday life rather than making you rearrange everything.
