About me

I’m Jo, a psychological therapist, offering therapy on Tuesdays in Altrincham and online. I have particular experience of working with individuals with life changing illnesses and cancer. I'm from a mental health nursing background with 25 years of NHS experience. 

I offer a calm, non-judgemental space in which we can safely explore the issues that bring you to therapy. Together, we gain a deeper understanding of your current difficulties, the relationship you have with yourself and others, and how your past life experiences have shaped your thoughts and feelings today. 

We'll map out unhelpful patterns that are keeping you stuck, and explore new ways of responding, allowing for long lasting, meaningful change, and a kinder relationship with yourself and others around you.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
