About me and my therapy practice
My name is Jo and I am a cis gender lesbian and queer woman. I am an integrative counsellor which means I use different approaches to suit your needs. This flexibility allows me to work with you in a way that works best for you, whether that involves exploring emotions, understanding past experiences, or addressing present challenges.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and that you are the expert on you. We can explore your experiences to uncover insights and pathways forward. My approach also acknowledges the importance of cultural and environmental influences, respecting the diversity of backgrounds and identities each individual brings to counselling.
I don’t have a specific time frame for us working together but instead I work with you for as long as it feels useful for you. We will review this throughout our time together.
Practice description
I currently work online so can work with people in different locations. I understand how important it is to ensure that LGBTQ+ people can access individual counselling and therapy knowing that they will be safe, accepted and understood and not have to explain their gender or sexuality. I also work with people exploring and questioning their sexuality and / or gender, and all the other issues that come with being human. I understand that we are not all the same and we will each have parts of our identity that intersect and impact our experience. As a feminist I recognise the different power systems that exist and the impact of these individually and collectively. I will not make assumptions about you but instead be open to listening and exploring what you need.
