Jo Williams

I offer online and in-person counselling from my room in Harpenden on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays.

You may have found yourself here because you’re feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope with your thoughts or feelings. Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety or depression, possibly brought on by low-self worth, a difficult relationship, or ill health. Perhaps you’re not really sure what’s troubling you.

Whatever it is you don’t have to manage on your own. I’m Jo Williams – a qualified integrative counsellor – and I offer a warm and welcoming confidential space where you can talk about your difficulties without the fear of being judged. I will support you as you move forward towards a more fulfilling life.

Do get in touch to book a free 20 minute consultation.

Experienced Counsellor in Harpenden

I believe everyone is unique, shaped by different life experiences, challenges and needs. I offer a blended approach to counselling, working both integratively and in a trauma-informed way, allowing me to work effectively with people as individuals.

I am experienced in working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma and with survivors of abuse. I am also passionate about providing support for people living with or affected by cancer.

As a trained trauma therapist, when helpful, we can also work creatively or somatically, paying attention to the body and the breath.

Qualified and Trusted

I have completed over 4 years of professional training and I've worked within many professional settings, including:

- Private counselling in Harpenden and online

- Counsellor with the Watford Women’s Centre's Ministry of Justice project, working with survivors of abuse

- Student counsellor within higher educational settings, including local sixth forms and colleges

- 9 years experience working as a counselling coordinator for Mind

I hold a Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I work within the Â鶹ԭ´´ ethical framework, I am fully insured and have regular professional supervision.

How I work

I offer short-term work if you need support with a specific issue, or longer-term work if you’d like to work with the whole self and at greater depth. I will draw on a range of techniques and approaches to meet your individual needs.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you will be met with openness and compassion. You will be truly listened to and valued, and you are free to bring your difficulties without the fear of being judged.

My practice

I run a small private practice in Harpenden. I work with adults and young people over the age of 18. I see people in-person from my warm and welcoming room in the centre of town. It is a peaceful and inviting space, often described as a sanctuary.

I also offer online therapy, where you can meet me at a time that suits you from the comfort of your own home. Or you may like to have a combination of both if this suit your needs.

I will welcome you whatever you bring, no matter how big or small, and I will provide you with your own regular time to meet, either in-person or online.

Free Consultation

Counselling is rewarding but it can also be challenging, which is why finding the right counsellor is important. To help I offer a free initial 20 minute phone conversation for us to find out more about each other before committing to sessions.
