Hello, I’m Jo, a counselling therapist (MBACP) based in the UK.
I take a collaborative approach, creating a space where you can explore your experiences with support and understanding.
My style is clear, empathic, and free from jargon, and I welcome questions so you always feel grounded in the process.
I have experience supporting clients with work-related stress, family trauma, burnout, chronic conditions, and the challenges faced by people from intersectional or under-represented communities. I also work with a wide range of general mental health concerns.
My approach is mainly Person-Centered, meaning your experience leads the work, and with the right conditions, real change is possible.
As Carl Rogers, Counselling Psychologist, said: “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
I look forward to hearing from you.

Jo created a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up. She helped me through relationship struggles, anxiety, and self-doubt in a really kind and supportive way. I always felt heard, and our work together made a genuine difference to how I understand myself and my relationships!
