Joanne Maddison , BACP

Joanne Maddison is a BACP psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and career difficulties, offering practical support and therapeutic guidance tailored to each person’s situation.

Her practice draws on a transactional analysis perspective, exploring how past patterns and present day-to-day interactions influence current feelings and behaviours. With a background in healthcare, Joanne has a particular interest in the emotional changes that can occur during pregnancy and motherhood and in supporting clients through related life transitions.

Joanne describes her approach as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate, and she adapts conversation and treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each individual. She aims to help people build coping skills, address relationship and family issues, and find clearer direction in times of change. Seeking therapy can take courage, and Joanne seeks to support and empower clients as they take the first steps toward greater wellbeing.

She holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and offers her services in English to people located in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Joanne draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach is useful for people seeking greater self-understanding, improved self-esteem, and stronger decision-making.

She also uses mindfulness therapy techniques to help people cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce the impact of overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Mindfulness practices can support stress reduction, anxiety management, and improved coping with life changes.

In addition, Joanne incorporates psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviour, which can be helpful for addressing long-standing emotional difficulties and interpersonal issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Joanne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options, try different techniques as appropriate, and adjust the focus of therapy as progress develops.

Online therapy sessions with Joanne are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations and can help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
