Welcome

My name is Jo Leather (she/her) and I am a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Registered Psychotherapist/EMDR therapist practising online and face to face, based in Prestwich, North Manchester. I am qualified to a Level 7, having trained at Salford University and having won an MSc with Distinction.

I work alongside you at your own pace, offering a warm, accepting and non-judgemental space for you to process your feelings, thoughts and experiences.

Maybe you are feeling under huge pressure at work or struggling in a relationship or finding it hard with your family? Or perhaps you have feelings of sadness, feelings that you're just "not good enough," feelings that you're anxious all the time and you don't know why? We can work together in our sessions on naming, claiming and ultimately, reframing these feelings.

While I am fundamentally humanistic in modality, I can also offer a range of approaches including EMDR, CBT techniques and Creative Expressive Techniques, depending on the needs and goals of the client. We can tailor the approach to suit you. I am trauma trained and take a trauma-informed approach to all my work.

Currently, I am offering in person sessions at the Holistic Centre in Prestwich and I also offer Zoom sessions.

Skilled at working with a diverse range of clients, I'm confident and respectful working with people of all genders. I work frequently with clients living with low mood, anxiety, relationship complexities, gender incongruence and those who have experienced childhood trauma or sexual violence. I am skilled at working with ND clients.

 I also have extensive experience working with emerging adults.

Getting Started

I know how hard it can be to start therapy. Perhaps you don't know what to expect and it's overwhelming? Just drop me an email to set up an initial session and in that session we can discuss what you would like to get from counselling and we can talk about any concerns you may have about getting started. Don't worry about feeling awkward - I make sure that clients feel at ease and empowered during sessions. You're in charge, not me!

Please do let me know about any reasonable adjustments that I can make for your sessions eg closed captions on Zoom.
