About me
Hi, my name is Jo and I provide therapy to adults (aged 18 and over) face-to-face, online or over the telephone.
Taking the first step toward seeking therapy can be daunting, but it's also a courageous act of self-care. If you're struggling with any mental health concerns or simply seeking support, I invite you to reach out and schedule a confidential therapy session. Together, we can work towards facilitating positive change in your life.
As a dedicated and compassionate Counsellor, I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. With extensive experience working with trauma, abuse, ADHD, anxiety, depression, self esteem, self confidence and relationship issues, I have worked with diverse populations facing a wide range of challenges. My therapeutic approach is humanistic, drawing from various evidence-based techniques including person-centred therapy, trauma informed practice and use of the expressive arts.
I believe in the importance of establishing a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. Every individual is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the specific needs and goals of each client. Through a blend of non-directive listening, insight-oriented exploration, and practical strategies, I help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and make meaningful changes in their lives.
I work in a pluralistic way, meaning that I will discuss with you what is helpful and tailor my approach to suit your individual therapeutic needs.
Sessions are 50 minutes long and I am available Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
If you would like to schedule a session with me, please email or call me and I will get back to you as soon as possible with my availability.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a level 5 qualified therapist and I am currently undertaking my level 6 in Humanistic Counselling.
I have extensive experience working within a sexual and domestic abuse counselling organisation and have worked both long-term and short-term to address abuse, trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-confidence and relationship issues. I also have an interest in working with adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD or suspect they might have ADHD.
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.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
