Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when people want clear strategies to change thinking and behaviour. Jo also works with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often written as EMDR, to help process traumatic memories and related symptoms. She offers mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy where these fit someone’s aims and comfort level.
Her practice spans a broad range of concerns including relationships, parenting strain, grief, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem, anger and career stress. Jo also supports people facing trauma, attachment and dissociation issues, chronic illness and caring responsibilities. Jo has worked in counselling for 12 years and is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She is based in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping people make practical changes in day-to-day life.

Online support
How Jo’s approaches translate to online therapy
Jo uses client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often alongside EMDR, to help people make steady progress. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals, which helps shape sessions around what matters most. CBT offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, depression and stress. EMDR is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact for people who have experienced trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss different methods with the person and agree what to try first based on their needs, goals and comfort. This is a collaborative decision and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to maintain regular appointments around work, family and other commitments.
