About Joanne
Joanne Bagwell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Joanne aims to make the first steps easier when reaching out feels difficult.
Joanne works in a straightforward, adaptable way. She listens first and then tailors sessions to what each person needs. That might mean talking through feelings, looking at everyday habits, or practising simple body-based techniques.
Background and approach
Her practice is influenced by existential ideas that help people find meaning when life feels confusing or empty. She also uses client-centred and psychodynamic approaches to understand how past experiences shape present feelings. Sessions can include short-term solution-focused work to tackle a current problem.
Joanne has three years' experience working in independent practice with people across a range of concerns. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them best.
Joanne supports people who are thinking about parenting challenges, relationship tensions, career strain, compassion fatigue and sleep problems among other issues. She aims to create a calm and non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. If taking the first step feels daunting, Joanne acknowledges that it takes courage and will work at a pace that feels manageable.

Online support
How Joanne's approaches work online
Existential Therapy here focuses on helping people find meaning and direction when life feels confusing or empty. It involves open conversation about values, choices and what matters to the person, and can help with issues like midlife change, grief, or a sense of purposelessness. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard, and helps people feel understood so they can explore solutions at their own pace. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It can be useful for understanding recurring relationship difficulties, attachment issues, or hidden sources of anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in to make sure the way she works feels helpful. Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a shorter check-in during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on everyday progress.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
