About me
Hello, I'm Jo, I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist offering counselling to adults over the age of 18, face to face, online and over the phone.
I support adults who are feeling stuck, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed – whether that’s due to past experiences, life transitions or patterns that no longer feel helpful.
What can I expect from counselling?
I offer a calm, confidential space where you can be heard without judgment. Together, we explore what’s going on, seek to get a better understanding of your options and consider new ways of thinking about things.
I aim to help you feel more at ease, with a clearer view of the way ahead.
My approach is warm, grounded and led at your pace. I believe that talking things through in a safe space can lead to powerful, lasting change.
I work integratively, which means I draw from a range of therapies – including elements from other counselling approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, and Trauma-informed therapy, but I am always guided by what’s most helpful for you.
Counselling sessions are typically 50 mins on a weekly basis and I recommend starting with six sessions initially. I am happy to work on a short or long term basis to suit your needs.
