About Joanna Walsh
Joanna Walsh is a counsellor and therapeutic art coach who focuses on trauma, abuse, neurodiversity, grief, and the sense of disconnection people sometimes feel from themselves and others. She works with people navigating complex responses to past experiences - including C-PTSD, PTSD, abuse, depression, and low self-esteem - helping them make sense of emotions such as shame, hypervigilance, and mistrust that can make close relationships and belonging feel difficult.
Her practice also supports those moving through many forms of loss, whether the death of a loved one or pet, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job or milestone, or the fading of a once-important friendship. Joanna has experience alongside people adjusting to neurodiversity-related questions - including ADHD, autism or giftedness diagnoses - and with those managing the day-to-day impact of chronic pain, illness, or disability.
Therapy with Joanna emphasises more than conversation alone. She guides clients to gently identify long-standing patterns and the protective strategies developed over time, considering which approaches continue to help and which might be letting them down. Progress can come through small practical shifts or deeper transformational change, always paced to the individual. Her work blends warmth, empathy, and a tailored therapeutic plan that combines client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic perspectives, and trauma-focused interventions.
Joanna also integrates creative, art-based methods when words are hard to find, using expressive approaches to support grounding, emotional expression, and self-discovery. She brings both professional training and personal insight to her practice - she is a qualified counsellor and therapeutic art coach with an MSc in Psychology and holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional qualification in counselling and psychotherapy. Based in the United Kingdom and working in English, Joanna offers an inclusive environment where people can be seen, heard, and supported as they explore change at their own pace.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Fit for Your Needs?
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can genuinely help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - evidence indicates that online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.A key benefit of remote therapy is flexibility. Individuals can choose the way of connecting that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which often makes it easier to maintain consistent care alongside work, family, and other commitments.
Licensed professionals and therapists offering remote sessions bring established therapeutic approaches to this format, and clients can change providers if they are seeking a different fit. Online options can expand access to support while preserving many of the core elements that make therapy helpful, such as a tailored approach, collaborative problem solving, and techniques aimed at coping and growth.
