Joanne Kevan, BACP

Joanne Kevan helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She is Joanne Kevan and she has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her style is open and straightforward so parents can read quickly and decide if they want to learn more.

Joanne works in an integrative way, drawing on different evidence-based techniques to suit each person. She aims to create a calm space where emotions can be talked about without judgement. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and what started the problem, so people can begin to make steady changes.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She listens, asks clear questions and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Together they try out ways to manage anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and difficulties with intimacy or parenting.

Joanne also supports people facing grief, career stress, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to trauma, obsessive thinking, or relationship boundaries. She encourages gentle goal-setting and small, achievable steps to build confidence and day-to-day coping.

Starting therapy can feel daunting and Joanne acknowledges that first step. She guides new clients through a short matching questionnaire and helps them schedule sessions that fit their circumstances.

How integrative approaches translate to online therapy

Joanne uses an integrative counselling approach, which means she combines techniques from different evidence-based therapeutic methods to suit the person in front of her. This can involve looking at unhelpful thinking patterns and practising small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. It is helpful for stress, depression, obsessive thinking and many trauma-related concerns.

She also emphasises a person-centred stance, where listening and emotional presence are central. That approach helps people feel heard and to explore difficult feelings at a pace that suits them. It can be especially useful when working through grief, relationship challenges, or issues with intimacy and self-esteem.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Joanne will discuss options with each person and together they will decide which techniques and goals feel most helpful. The collaboration includes checking progress and adapting methods as needs or preferences change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other commitments, and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, or for camera-off conversations when people prefer not to be on video.
