Please get in touch to find out how I could accommodate your schedule needs. 

Hi, my name is Jo and I am a therapeutic counsellor. I know all too well what it is like to be in your position looking for a therapist and how daunting the whole process is, especially when you are coming along with your existing issues that have brought you here. I have had my own experiences of mental health issues and neurodiversity. I have had to navigate life’s challenges but have done so with the help of various forms of therapy. Therefore, I feel that I can approach our work together from both personal and professional gained experience.

Life is constantly evolving and as we journey through it we find ourselves needing guidance at times in order to help us understand our situation and what we can do to move through life’s difficulties.

I would like to invite you to see if I am the right fit for you and to join me in a friendly, safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to explore your issues. I would like to help guide you on your journey towards positive growth.

The core of my training is in Person-Centred Counselling meaning you are at the centre of our work together. My aim is to provide you with the right conditions to open up within a confidential, safe and non-judgemental environment helping you to work through your past or present difficulties. My intentions are to focus on your needs, work with you, and to help you move forwards.

I believe that you are the expert in your story and it is my place to help be your guide alongside you on your therapeutic journey in overcoming the issues and challenges that you face.

It takes a lot of courage in taking these first steps in order to seek changes and create a happier and more fulfilled life. I am here to support and empower you on that journey.

I offer an initial free 20 minute phone call where you are free to ask any questions and then make an informed decision as to whether or not you would like to move forward with me as your counsellor.

I provide concessions so please don't hesitate to enquire about this.

Prior to starting therapy, I would email you a copy of the contract to read through and provide a registration form for you to fill out for emergency situations.

At your first session, I would go through the contract with you to make sure that you consent to all aspects of it, or amend where agreed.

After this, you would then be invited to begin discussing what has brought you to therapy and any desired therapeutic goals and expectations.
