About Joanne
Counsellor Joanne Saulter is a BACP-registered practitioner with five years' experience. She offers counselling across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting and relationship issues. Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom.
Joanne uses an integrative, person-centred way of working. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them talk through the problems that brought them for help. Practical goals are discussed together and she supports people to identify steps they can try between sessions.
She can include a faith perspective when a client wants that. Joanne is a practising Christian and will only bring faith into the work if the client requests it. She also works respectfully with people from other beliefs and backgrounds.
Her background includes work with adults and young people, and experience supporting carers and adults on the autism spectrum. That experience informs how she plans sessions and sets a pace that suits each person.
Joanne draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ways of working, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred practice. These methods are used to help with symptoms, improve coping and address relationship patterns.
Sessions aim to help people understand what is happening for them and try different ways of responding. Prospective clients are asked to check the online counselling options and follow the site process to arrange a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small steps that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns. It helps people understand recurring relationship difficulties and experiment with different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss options and agree which methods to use together. That choice is based on practical goals, personal preference and how someone responds in the early sessions.
Please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats here. Ask about the way sessions are run when you complete the matching questionnaire. Remote counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a working day, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use video or phone options according to what suits them most.
