More about Jo

Hello and a warm welcome to you.

I'm Jo, a counselling therapist (MBACP) based in the U.K.

Often finding the right therapist can be harder than starting therapy. I work collaboratively with you, bridging gaps & bringing understanding. Creating a supportive environment, where you feel accepted and able to explore your thoughts & feelings.

My role is to be with you with genuine congruence and empathy. I also aim to create a sound basis for sessions. I explain (jargon free!) and answer questions that come up along the way helping to keep my clients at the center of their process.

I have a varied background in private and public sectors with my interest and expertise being work related stress, family trauma, burnout, chronic conditions and the lack of representation and spaces for intersectional individuals. It can be hard enough talking about your experiences without having to reiterate and break down differences. I bring understanding, not assumptions to your sessions.

I also work with clients who need help with general mental health concerns; offering both short and long-term sessions dependent on your needs. Do have a look at the areas I work with on my profile to see if I can help.

Although I have an understanding of various therapeutic processes and may draw from them in my work; I am Person Centered. What is Person Centered? Well, in a nutshell it's therapy that puts emphasis on your experience and given the right therapeutic environment, capacity for healing.

Carl Rogers (American Psychologist, founder of Person Centered Theory) is quoted to have 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.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
