Jo Gudgeon

I offer Person-Centred Counselling and ADHD Coaching for Adults, supporting you to better understand yourself and what you're experiencing, while finding ways forward that feel right and work for you.

As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I believe that feeling genuinely heard and accepted can create the space needed to understand yourself better, explore what you are experiencing and begin to make changes that feel right for you.

I’m committed to providing a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and able to talk openly about what’s going on for you.

I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties that can affect their mental health and wellbeing, including Anxiety and Depression, as well as those who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or struggling to understand themselves.

Alongside counselling, I also offer ADHD coaching. ADHD coaching is a practical, strengths-based approach that can help you better understand how your ADHD affects your everyday life and develop strategies that work with the way your brain works. This might include support with organisation, planning, time management, motivation, procrastination, routines, overwhelm and achieving goals.

Counselling and ADHD coaching can also be integrated, depending on what you need. Sometimes you may want the space to explore emotions, experiences and relationships through Counselling, while also working on practical strategies to help you manage the challenges ADHD can bring. We can bring elements of both approaches into our work, where appropriate, while keeping the focus on what feels most helpful for you.

I have experience supporting people through difficult experiences, including domestic abuse, as well as periods of change and transition such as navigating university life, relationship changes, menopause and personal growth.

I know that taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. You may not know exactly what you need, or even where to begin. You don't have to have everything worked out before you come. My role is to listen, understand and support you without judgement, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Choosing a counsellor is a personal decision, and feeling comfortable with the person you work with really matters. If you're considering Counselling, ADHD Coaching, or a combination of both, and would like to ask a question or have a chat about whether I might be the right fit for you, you're very welcome to get in touch.

I am able to offer a small number of discounted sessions for Students and fellow Counsellors.
