Dr Jo Leather

I work with clients online across the UK including London. My fees reflect my Manchester base rather than London overheads - without compromising on training, experience or care. I also work face-to-face in Prestwich, Manchester.

Sessions are are £60 (concessions £55) and are 50 minutes long.

Please note that I do not offer free introductory sessions.

Welcome

My name is Dr Jo Leather (she/her) and I am a highly qualified and experienced Â鶹ԭ´´ Registered Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist practising online with clients across the UK and face to face, based in Prestwich, North Manchester. 

I work alongside you at your own pace, offering a warm, accepting and non-judgemental space for you to process your feelings, thoughts and experiences.

Maybe you are feeling under huge pressure at work or struggling in a relationship or finding it hard with your family? Or perhaps you have feelings of sadness, feelings that you're just "not good enough," feelings that you're anxious all the time and you don't know why? You may have had a childhood where you felt unsafe or unloved.

We can work together in our sessions on naming, claiming and ultimately, reframing these feelings.

I offer Talking Therapy and EMDR, depending on the needs and goals of the client. My practice is evidence-based and professional but I am warm and personal rather than a 'blank slate'. 

We can tailor the approach to suit you. I am trauma trained and take a trauma-informed approach to all my work.

EMDR is easily adapted for online delivery.

*The use of the title Dr in this directory listing relates to the member’s doctorate qualification. However, this does not imply a general medical qualification.*

Skilled at working with a diverse range of clients, I'm confident and respectful working with people of all genders. I work frequently with clients living with low mood, anxiety, relationship complexities, gender incongruence and those who have experienced childhood trauma or sexual violence. I am skilled at working with ND clients. I strive to offer a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming and queer friendly space for all my clients.

Getting Started

I know how hard it can be to start therapy. Perhaps you don't know what to expect and it's overwhelming? Just drop me an email to set up an initial session and in that session we can discuss what you would like to get from therapy and we can talk about any concerns you may have about getting started. Don't worry about feeling awkward - I make sure that clients feel at ease and empowered during sessions. You're in charge, not me!

Please do let me know about any reasonable adjustments that I can make for your sessions.
