About me
Welcome
Hello. My name is Jo and I am a qualified integrative Counsellor working with adults face to face and online in the Bath and North East Somerset area.
I have a passion for people and their wellbeing and consider it a privilege to offer them the chance to talk openly about their feelings and to be truly listened to and accepted. I offer a non-judgemental, friendly, compassionate and confidential space where you can be heard and understood as we explore and discuss your troubling issues together at your own pace.
My Approach
Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, so whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, loss and bereavement, or something else, counselling offers a trusted and effective path towards positive change and healing. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles and to move towards healing from your pain.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on experience from a variety of counselling modalities and theories to best suit a client’s needs, such as Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Person Centred, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Gestalt and I also offer creative tools and materials if the client so wishes.
Training, qualifications & experience
Training and Qualifications
I have a BA (Hons) in Counselling and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I adhere to their code of ethics. I engage in continued professional development (CPD) to ensure my knowledge is current and relevant to client needs and I have monthly supervision. I have an enhanced DBS certificate and professional insurance. I am compliant with GDPR regulations and registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
As well as my private practice, I currently volunteer as an online Counsellor at a low-cost Counselling Agency in High Wycombe and I have also volunteered at a low-cost Counselling Agency in Wells helping clients to recover from addiction.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

What happens next?
If you would like to know more about working with me, please contact me either via email or text message without any obligation. We will then arrange a time to have an initial chat where you can briefly tell me your reasons for seeking counselling and you can ask me any questions. If we both feel that working together would be beneficial to you, we will then arrange to commence counselling sessions, either online (Tuesdays and Thursdays) , on the telephone (Tuesdays and Thursdays), or in person (Tuesdays) at The Engine House at Therapy at the Farm in Stratton-on-the-Fosse where there is ample parking and disabled access.
Counselling sessions last for 50 minutes and cost £50 per session. We will look to find a mutually agreeable time for the counselling to take place. I offer short-term or long-term counselling which includes regular reviews where we can evaluate our work together.
