Íø±¬ÃÅ

I am available all day Monday and mornings Tuesday- Thursday and also Saturday mornings 

Some flexibility around this 

Hello my name is Jo, welcome to my profile.

I am an MÍø±¬ÃÅ integrative counsellor.

Having had hours of personal therapy myself I know how daunting finding a counsellor and beginning therapy can feel.

Something has led you here and I'm curious to know what that is. If you'd like to share more of that with me, please feel free to reach out for a free 30 minute initial chat.

I am an Integrative counsellor, this type of training allows me to 'integrate' different approaches within our sessions to help explore your past and present as well as future goals.The aim of therapy is to bring awareness and positive change to your life especially in areas where you feel stuck and unable to move forward. As our therapeutic relationship develops we will work together identifying issues that you may find difficult to explore and process on your own. I will strive to always offer a safe space where you feel seen and heard.

 I have lived experience of the following and while nothing is ever experienced the same I do believe my own experiences have and continue to help me have a greater understanding of clients and their presenting issues.

• loss

• grief

• menopause

• work place bullying

• people pleasing

• relationship breakdown

• family addiction

• anxiety and over thinking

• divorce

• empty nest syndrome

• boarding school syndrome

If you would like a free 30 minute initial meeting  please feel free to reach out so that can be arranged , this would be an initial chat with no obligation to begin therapy. It’s really important to have a connection and this is a good time to see if that may be possible or not.

If you were to go forward and have therapy with me our first session would involve disclosing some personal and health details for my records and together we would discuss and create a contract to suit us both while also including some legal requirements to ensure our therapeutic relationship stays a safe one. 

From having hours of my own therapy I know how daunting reaching out and deciding to go forward can feel but please know this is done in a safe and caring way which involves you every step of the way … I offer equality and work collaboratively with all clients tailoring each session to their specific needs and requirements where possible. 

I offer concessions to anyone who is currently unemployed and a student.
