Jo-Ann is so easy to talk with and open up to.
She listens and hears me, and validates how hard it is to talk about the issues, how difficult it was to go through them, and especially how hard it is to overcome years of trauma bonding and emotional abuse.
Her advice is relevant to the issues and viable.

I can’t recommend Jo enough. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease and knew I could trust her. For the first time, I’ve found a therapist I can be 100% honest with. Jo is incredibly kind, and her approach is both interactive and insightful. I really value the way she not only listens but also shares her own perspectives, which makes our sessions feel supportive and collaborative. She has truly made a difference for me.

Jo has been my absolute rock since starting my sessions and I never thought I’d say this but I look forward to our sessions. Jo is amazing and listens to what I have to say even if it’s not a lot and she gives me advice even if I don’t want to hear. But we also have a good laugh as well in our sessions and put the world to rights. I really feel like I’m starting to understand things better with Jo’s guidance and support

Makes you feel confident in talking to her about anything and everything and doesn’t feel too clinical which is perfect if you like a more laidback approach and environment to talk about things.

Jo-Ann is an incredible therapist! She has helped me so much in learning how to quiet my overthinking mind and find a sense of peace I never thought possible. From the very first session, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely understood. Her insights are always thoughtful, and she has an amazing way of helping me reframe my thoughts more positively and productively.

Not only is Jo-Ann compassionate and supportive, but she also challenges me in the best way—pushing me to grow, set boundaries, and build healthier thought patterns. Her guidance has truly transformed the way I approach life’s challenges, and I feel so much more confident and in control because of our work together.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is kind, wise, and deeply committed to your well-being, I can’t recommend Jo-Ann enough. She’s been a life-changing support system for me, and I’m so grateful to have found her!

I can't thank Jo-Ann enough for being part of my healing process. She is patient and understanding, I felt very safe telling her some of the most embarrassing thoughts and actions in order to find patterns and awareness in my behaviour. I feel I'm on track in a journey of self-improvement and I thank Jo-Ann for helping me get there.

Wonderful to be listened to and understood. Jo-Ann remembers my issues from week to week and has been great at recommending different things to read or to consider between sessions which has really helped. Her expertise and experiencing has shone through our sessions and I am very grateful for her help. NHS counselling is few and far between so being able to get help through Betterhelp quickly has been really important to my recovery and understanding of PTSD.
