I have weekday and Sunday morning flexible hours and availability. 

I am a Relationship Therapist specialising working with couples. 

Perhaps your relationship has changed since having children, or you are navigating an affair. Are you struggling with conflict or maybe you feel your needs are not being met? Working through your issues in therapy can really help to bring awareness to the deeper underlying issues at play. 

I can support you both by listening to both sides without judgement, suggesting strategies to improve communication, to deepen intimacy, or to allow each others needs to be more fully heard. In some cases it may also be a place to decide to separate with dignity. 

Therapy can be a place to uncover stuck patterns of behaviour, shed light onto parts of yourself and each other that have been hidden, and provide a neutral space where you can both speak and really be heard. 

Each session is 1 hour in duration. 

During our sessions, I like to work with what you both decide to bring and I will also ask you questions along the way for me to further understand your situation, letting me know what strategies might be best for you both. 

As your insight grows and you realise the changes that are needed to repair, if appropriate I may ask you to think of things you can do outside of the sessions that will help you reach your goals. We can use the sessions to explore how those additions worked or didn't work and tweak them accordingly. 

However I am flexible with this. I am open to you finding your own strategies that work with your unique relationship and encourage you to find ways that align with you both. My job is to listen without judgement, support you without my own agenda, and allow for both parties to feel fully heard and understood.

In our very first session, I will ask you a few questions such as: 

What has brought you to therapy? If you have had therapy before what worked and what didn't? Why now? It's a chance for us all to get to start know each other and I can start to build a picture of the issues you are facing.

As its an assessment session I charge a discount for this first session which will cost £50.

Initial sessions thereafter will build on from there as we find our flow. Having someone neutral to notice your relationship dynamics and guide you to healthier ways of relating can lead to profound changes in your realationship. 

I currently have flexible weekly availability:

Hi I'm Jo, I am here to support you on your journey towards emotional wellbeing and personal growth. I'm able to support people with anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem and attachment issues and also work with clients who are struggling with depression, loss and grief and suicidal thoughts.

 I use Person Centred and Somatic approaches which means that I work on the basis of what you decide bring to each session with compassion and non judgement and I may also work with bodily experiencing as a way to help to regulate the nervous system when thoughts and emotions feel overwhelming.

Central to my way of working is to build a place of safety so that you feel comfortable enough to open up and talk about your issues and concerns without feeling judged.

Session to be held online or by telephone only. 

I offer free 15 minute consultations as an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little. I can let you know how I like to work and you can decide if this might feel like a fit for you. It may also be a chance for you to tell me a little about what has brought you to therapy.

After that, our first full 50 minute session will be an assessment session where I ask you questions such as 'what has brought you to therapy? ' and 'if you have had therapy before, what worked for you and what didn't?' It's an opportunity for you to share what you feel happy to share and for me to gather information to understand what the focus of further sessions might be. 

All sessions are 50 minutes long and cost £60.
