Joanne Copley, BACP

Joanne Copley is a UK-licensed therapist with 12 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She combines clinical training with a warm, nonjudgmental presence to help clients feel heard and understood as they work toward clearer thinking and more manageable emotional responses.

Joanne holds BACP accreditation and an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from Derby University - the MSc is a master's degree that reflects training across multiple therapeutic models. Her background includes humanistic, person-centred approaches alongside cognitive behavioural techniques, and she also works with attachment-based, solution-focused, and trauma-focused methods to match the needs of each person.

In practice Joanne collaborates with clients to determine whether they prefer a client-led conversation or a more structured, skills-based plan that builds coping strategies. She guides the therapeutic process while encouraging reflection on inner strengths, emotional awareness, and the development of healthier patterns of relating. Joanne aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgement, and she supports people in taking the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.
