Joanna Kay

Joanna Kay offers a calm, approachable space for people who feel alone, overwhelmed or stuck. She helps with feelings of isolation and loneliness alongside anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns. Joanna aims to help clients take small steps toward greater self-compassion and confidence. Joanna has three years of practice and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her work in counselling and psychotherapy. She has worked with charities, schools and private mental health clinics, bringing a range of everyday experience to sessions. Her background means she is familiar with practical pressures from work and family life. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Joanna listens carefully, helps clients set clear goals and suggests strategies that fit each situation. She also draws on creative tools such as art, poetry and writing when these feel helpful. Joanna combines a warm, non-judgemental manner with straightforward discussion and practical steps. She supports people to rebuild self-esteem, manage difficult memories, and make changes at a pace that suits them. Conversations are collaborative and aimed at finding ways forward. People meet weekly at a time that suits them. Joanna offers telephone, video and live chat options and will work with each person to find the best way to connect. To begin, clients use the platform questionnaire to match and then arrange sessions.

How Joanna brings therapy online with practical approaches

Joanna works with evidence-based techniques alongside creative methods. She blends straightforward conversational therapy that helps people identify patterns in thoughts and behaviours with practical coping strategies for stress and anxiety. These approaches help when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to change daily routines.

She also uses creative practices such as art, poetry and writing to help people express feelings that can be hard to put into words. These methods can be useful for processing difficult memories, building self-compassion and exploring identity in a gentle way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanna collaborates with each person to test what helps most, adjusting techniques and exercises to match the client's needs, goals and preferences. The focus is on practical steps and gradual change rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The biography notes she meets by telephone, video and live chat, so confirm which of these options are available when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caring responsibilities, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Joanna will discuss the practicalities with each person so sessions suit their life and goals.
