Joanne Sage, BACP

Joanne Sage is a UK-based therapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who brings ten years of professional therapy experience to her practice. She combines a long-standing commitment to mental health with a flexible, person-focused approach that aims to help clients make sense of their experiences and move forward in life.

Joanne works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and confidence issues, depression, and a wide range of challenges including relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, parenting difficulties, and career-related stress. Her practice also addresses more specific focuses such as attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar presentations, and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes roles with charities and community services such as Together working for mental well-being, Place2be, Integrated neurological services and Youth counselling services alongside private practice. As an integrative counsellor she draws on multiple methods tailored to each individual, using strategies to build boundaries, increase resilience, and strengthen coping skills when life feels overwhelming.

Joanne incorporates family history and intergenerational patterns into her work, attends to how trauma can be stored in the body, and uses mindfulness meditation and somatic awareness to help clients return to the present moment. Her goals in therapy include building resources, increasing distress tolerance, reprocessing traumatic experiences where needed, and supporting clients to take an active role in their ongoing personal growth and healing.
