About me
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained? When stress, trauma, or anxiety build up, even simple decisions can feel impossible. You might be functioning on the outside while quietly battling exhaustion, overthinking, or old wounds that keep resurfacing. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I’m Jo — an advanced counselling practitioner with over 15 years’ experience supporting adults and young people through complex emotional challenges.
Why I do this work
Part of my passion for counselling comes from my own lived experience. I understand what it feels like to face emotional difficulties without support, and how isolating that can be. That period in my life shaped the way I practise; with compassion and a commitment to ensuring no one has to navigate their struggles alone.
My therapeutic approach
I work using an integrative approach, which means I draw from several evidence based therapies including CBT, Psychodynamic and Humanistic models and blend them in a way that fits you as an individual.
My background includes extensive NHS work, charity roles, and running my own counselling and hypnotherapy practice giving me a broad, grounded understanding of the many ways people experience emotional distress.
How we work together
Integrative therapy allows us to work holistically: exploring your past when needed, understanding your emotional patterns, and developing practical tools to help you move forward. Alongside this, I also offer clinical hypnotherapy where appropriate, providing an additional route for deeper change.
I can help with:
• Anxiety, Stress & Depression
• Trauma & Abuse Recovery
• Addictions & Coping Cycles
• Self-Esteem & Life Transitions
The list above is far from exhaustive, I regularly work with clients across a broad range of everyday issues, including anger management, relationship dynamics, work-related stress, redundancy, and child-related or pregnancy struggles.
Please get in touch so we can discuss further how we can work together.

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.
