Joanne Sage , BACP

Joanne Sage, BACP, is a UK-licensed integrative counsellor with 10 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and a wide range of other emotional challenges. She draws on an integrative blend of therapeutic methods so that each plan of work is tailored to the individual's needs, helping clients to make sense of difficult experiences and to move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

In practice Joanne places emphasis on building resources and strengthening distress tolerance, offering space to reprocess trauma and to explore how early attachment and family patterns shape present-day behaviour. She uses mindfulness and somatic awareness alongside cognitive and relational approaches to help people return to the present moment, regulate overwhelming reactions, and develop practical strategies for coping with life changes and everyday pressures.

Joanne works with a broad range of concerns including addiction, bipolar difficulties, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, caregiving stress, and issues related to identity and relationships. Her work often includes exploring intergenerational patterns and family history so clients can understand recurring dynamics and find new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Known for creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space, Joanne supports clients in identifying strengths, setting boundaries, and practising skills that promote ongoing personal growth and resilience. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she brings professional standards and a compassionate, collaborative approach to her therapeutic work.
