About me
Hello, I'm Jo and I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist offering counselling to adults over the age of 18, in person, online and over the phone.
My background is in therapeutic counselling, but I include elements from other counselling approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, and Trauma-informed therapy to suit the needs of my clients.
What can I expect from counselling?
I will provide you with a safe, confidential, relaxed place to share your worries and concerns and to talk through the challenges you are currently facing. I believe that whatever has led you to seek counselling can be explored and talked through without judgement. Being able to express what you are thinking and feeling helps to make sense of the difficulties you may be experiencing and ultimately helps you to make decisions about how you want to move forward in your life.
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.
Getting Started...
Getting in touch is easy, just visit my website - https://mymindcounselling.co.uk and click on Availability and Contact to find out how to make contact.
Choosing a counsellor can feel like a daunting process which is why I offer a free, no-obligation, initial consultation so that you can get a feel for whether you feel I can help.
