Joanne (Jo) Warren, BACP

Joanne (Jo) Warren is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with addiction, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and ageing and geriatric issues. Jo uses plain language and a warm, respectful manner to help people talk through what matters most to them.

She listens from each person's point of view and works to identify practical choices. Sessions often focus on noticing patterns, building coping strategies and testing small changes that can feel manageable day to day. Jo aims to make sessions a place for thinking things through and planning next steps.

Jo has 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises EMDR as part of her toolkit. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, relationship difficulties and long-term health and caregiving challenges.

Her approach blends client-centred ways of working with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. EMDR and hypnotherapy are also available when appropriate and agreed together. Jo frames therapy around a person's goals and day-to-day realities, so work is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

People who value a calm, collaborative style may find her helpful. She encourages straightforward conversation about problems, small experiments between sessions and a focus on coping strategies that fit real life.

How Jo’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows what matters to the individual and helps them reflect on choices and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of their impact on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jo will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then suggest a combination of methods. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches, like CBT and mindfulness, translate well to remote work, and techniques from EMDR can also be adapted for online practice with the therapist's guidance. Registered or accredited professionals can help find a format that fits a person's daily life and aims.
