Jo Warren, MBACP (Accred), Counsellor and EMDR Therapist
About me
I am able to offer you the opportunity to explore your inner thoughts and feelings in safety and confidence helping you to make sense of what is going on in your life. This could be anything from day to day worries, to stress, anxiety or depression; you may be faced with a life changing event, relationship or family issues.
I will listen to you attentively, looking at the issue from your point of view, helping you explore choices you have, changes you may want to make and develop strategies to cope in the future. My therapy room is tranquil, private and peaceful.
A broad range of therapeutic approaches are offered including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person Centred and the more holistic approaches such as Mindfulness. Therapeutic techniques are an individual process which is driven by your input and development, we will be working together to enable effective change.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
