About Joanna
Counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with three years' experience supporting people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Joanna 'Jo' Biegala uses an integrative approach and combines several practical methods to help people cope with life changes and emotional difficulties.
Jo draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused methods to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on what the person wants to work on and on concrete steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes work with adults experiencing complex mental health needs and general wellbeing concerns, plus past experience supporting children and young people aged 5 to 18. Jo tends to use person-centred skills to build rapport and then brings in other methods as appropriate.
People can expect a collaborative approach where they decide the emphasis of counselling. Jo aims to offer both space to talk and practical strategies when those are wanted. She encourages small, achievable changes and learns from each person's feedback about what helps.
Sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the platform's See online therapy options button.

How Jo uses attachment, CBT and solution-focused work online
Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. Online sessions using this lens can help someone understand patterns in relationships and why certain situations feel triggering.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying alternative ways of thinking and behaving. In remote sessions this often means practical exercises, thought records and homework to test new responses between meetings.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on setting small, concrete goals and building on strengths. It helps when someone wants clear steps and short-term progress rather than a long exploration of the past.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the person's needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try and when to adapt them. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, school and childcare, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work fits into everyday life.
