About Joanne
Joanne Saulter is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, integrative approach. She aims to create a warm, respectful space where people feel listened to and can talk through what is troubling them. Joanne works with adults and young people and can include a faith perspective when clients want that to be part of therapy.
Joanne asks simple questions to help untangle overwhelming feelings and daily struggles. She helps people set realistic goals and supports them while they try new ways of coping. Her style is collaborative - she treats each person as the expert on their own life and talks things through at the client’s pace.
Her practice reflects values from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy strategies, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Joanne uses these approaches to help with issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
She has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That registration is listed as BACP. Joanne has particular experience supporting carers and adults with autism across a range of topics.
Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and empathetic. Joanne will work with each person to explore their story and find practical ways to move forward. If integrating faith is important, she will follow the client’s lead rather than impose any beliefs.

How approaches shape online therapy
Joanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy and relationship concerns. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s pace, offering empathy and reflection rather than direction.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Joanne will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences. That means working together to try strategies, check what is useful, and change tack if something is not helping.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It also makes it simpler to meet with a therapist who has experience with carers, autism, trauma and related concerns without needing to travel.
