About me
What you're going through is a normal human reaction to what's happening around you. People start therapy for a variety of reasons; a difficult life event, feeling stressed, experiencing intense emotions, or looking for support with common mental health difficulties like anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and trauma. Sometimes, people contact us because they don't know why they feel the way they do, and they are looking for answers. And other times, it's about getting what you want out of life by figuring out what's holding you back.
Whatever the reason is that's brought you here, I specialise in helping you find the root cause so we can work together to effectively target the issue, allowing you to enjoy long-lasting results.
What clients say about their experiences:
"Jo has helped me more than I could have imagined. Jo has helped me to talk through thinking patterns that I didn't even realise I had, from this she has helped me to understand how things that have happened in my life have led to these patterns. I have learned a lot from Jo regarding the science behind the brain, I have been shown and explained why my brain works the way it does which has given me tools for managing my everyday life."
"I cannot recommend Jo enough!! I had tried counselling before and thought it wasn’t for me. I now realise that finding the right counsellor makes all the difference."
"I had gone to Jo to help deal with the pressures of being a father, business owner and trustee. But I came away with so much more than that. Without any question, Jo gets my highest recommendation."
Training overview
I am trained in several therapy disciplines, including how to regulate the nervous system, CBT, psychodynamic, person-centred and integrated psychotherapy because one size does not fit all!

Check out the rest of our team
I work as part of a dedicated team of counsellors and trainee psychotherapists in a modern space on the outskirts of Yeovil. We aim to offer clients the best experience possible. There are many counselling approaches out there but the best outcomes always come down to one thing—the connection with the person you are working with. This is why we're not here to tell you what to do; we're here to learn what you're going through and to work together to achieve your goals. It's this approach that makes us a highly-rated service in the area. Don't just take our word for it, hear what people say.

Testimonials
"Jo helped me enormously in acknowledging and recognising the root causes of behaviours that were causing me distress in my day to day life. She was kind, compassionate and caring but also knowledgeable and I felt in safe hands in every session we had together."
"Until I met Joanna I had never felt understood by anyone. I lived in a bubble with persistent anxiety as well as severe depression. During our first meeting, she showed patience and interest... For the first time that I could remember I felt relaxed talking to someone new. "
"Jo is compassionate, supportive, caring and totally trustworthy. I was able to share so much I had kept bottled up for decades. I trust Jo implicitly, not just with my past, but with the ‘tools’ she gave me enabling me to cope so much better than I ever thought I could."
