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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
