Hi, I’m Jo. I offer psychotherapy and counselling from an integrative perspective, having over 20 years of experience of supporting young people, adults, and families with a range of difficulties.

I have specialist training in attachment and trauma, CBT, person centred therapy, somatic approaches and transactional analysis.

I believe that one size does not fit all and therapy is tailored to suit the needs of the individual.  I offer a warm, collaborative trauma informed approach to therapy.

 A member of the BACP and UKCP (Advanced Clinical Trainee), I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, whether it’s to help with depression or anxiety, a sense of feeling lost, identity exploration, relationships or just seeking to change something about themselves.

Psychotherapy offers a confidential, steady space to slow down, listen closely to yourself, and make sense of what has shaped you — so that new ways of living and relating can become possible.  I offer a warm, safe and non-judgemental space to support you with these matters.

I work with a wide range of people but have a particular interest in identity, adoption (being an adoptive parent myself), relationships and the ways we learn to adapt to the systems and families we grow up in.  I draw from integrative approaches, weaving together different models in a way that is tailored to you rather than expecting you to fit a formula.

At the heart of my practice are values of curiosity, respect, and collaboration.  I don’t see you as “the problem” to be fixed, but as a person doing your best in conditions that may have been — or still are — very difficult. Together, we can gently turn towards what has felt too much to hold alone.
