Joanne Lindley, BACP

Joanne Lindley is a BACP-accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom who supports people through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and the pain of bereavement and loss. She combines psychotherapy training with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - known for its effectiveness with anxiety - and holds a qualification in Person Centred Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD), an evidence-based approach endorsed by the NHS. Her professional background includes experience working with the NHS and with clients across a wide range of ages and life circumstances.

Joanne offers specialist support for academics and students and is also a qualified and certified pet bereavement counsellor for those grieving animal loss. Her practice covers a broad spectrum of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, family and intimacy-related issues, parenting and career transitions, as well as difficulties such as low self-esteem, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. She addresses attachment and relationship issues alongside practical coping strategies to manage everyday stressors.

Therapy with Joanne begins by exploring each person’s specific needs and goals, and she works flexibly to accommodate different preferences. She provides sessions by video call, telephone and instant messaging, with availability in the evenings and at weekends, aiming to create a calm, respectful and compassionate environment for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Joanne integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s own insights guide change and is often used for depression and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Joanne works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often blend methods to tailor therapy, and Joanne discusses options openly so clients can be involved in deciding the direction of their work.

Online therapy with Joanne is offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote support. Evening and weekend availability further helps people fit therapy into daily life, making consistent access to care more achievable.
