Joanne Rothery, NCPS

Joanne Rothery is a UK-registered counselling therapist who works from a person-centered perspective and brings four years of professional experience to her practice. She holds NCPS, a UK counselling registration, and draws on lived experience to inform a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and related challenges.

Joanne creates a calm and accepting space where clients can bring whatever they are experiencing without pressure or expectation. She has practical experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and warmth while keeping the client at the heart of the work.

Whether someone is seeking change to feel calmer and more content or simply needs someone to talk to during a difficult period, Joanne aims to be alongside them in a steady, holding way. She welcomes all parts of a person - the painful, the confused, and the hopeful - and works collaboratively to explore steps forward at a pace that fits each individual.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Joanne integrates client-centered therapy and trauma-focused therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and acceptance, helping people explore their feelings and values so they can find their own path forward; it is often used for issues such as low self-esteem, life changes, and general emotional distress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing past traumatic experiences in a way that reduces their ongoing impact; this approach is suited to people coping with abuse, complex trauma, or related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Joanne treats this as a collaborative exploration. She works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting her style as the work progresses so the pace and focus remain appropriate.

Online therapy with Joanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes booking and attending sessions more flexible. These options allow people to access registered professionals from different locations, accommodate varying schedules, and choose a mode of communication that feels most comfortable while maintaining continuity of care.
