About Joanne Sage
Joanne Sage is a UK-based therapist, licensed to practice with 9 years of professional experience as a therapist and over 20 years working in the field of mental health. She combines long-term sector experience with an integrative counselling style, drawing on a range of methods to meet each person where they are and to help make sense of current difficulties.
She has supported people with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. Her background includes roles with several charities, including Together working for mental well-being, Place2Be, Integrated Neurological Services and Youth Counselling Services, alongside a private practice. Joanne also holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her work aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. Joanne helps people build clearer boundaries, recognise their needs, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. She emphasises resilience as a set of learnable strategies rather than a fixed trait, supporting clients to expand resources, increase distress tolerance, and access their strengths.
Joanne uses mindfulness meditation as a tool for people living with long-term anxiety and depression to reconnect with the present and to develop ongoing self-care practices. She also attends to the somatic dimension of trauma, recognising how intense experiences can become stored in the body and how the brain's survival responses can shape present reactions. By exploring family history and intergenerational patterns, Joanne helps clients understand how past dynamics influence current behaviour.
Throughout her work she aims to build trust, especially for those who have experienced early adversity, and to dismantle unhelpful patterns through creative, tailored interventions. Joanne offers empathetic support to empower people taking the first steps toward greater wellbeing and more fulfilling lives.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit?
Many people wonder whether remote sessions can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy is often comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person work. That means people can access meaningful support without needing to attend a physical office.
One of the clearest benefits is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the format that suits them best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexible access can make it easier to prioritise therapy within busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
Therapists offering remote sessions are licensed professionals, and many clients appreciate the option to change practitioners if they need a different fit. For those weighing the choice, online therapy can provide accessible, consistent support that aligns with modern lifestyles and the practical demands of daily life.
