About me and my therapy practice

Struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression? Feeling stuck at a crossroads not knowing which way to turn? Self-esteem or low confidence taking its toll? Whatever difficulties you are facing, you do not need to feel alone.

Hi, I’m Jo. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

I am a qualified Humanistic Counsellor, working predominantly from a Person-Centred approach, but will always aim to identify the working style that best suits your unique needs.

As a Humanistic Counsellor, I believe the key to getting the best results from therapy is to develop a genuine, trusting, and empathic relationship with my clients. I do not see myself as the expert with all the answers. I believe you are the expert on yourself as no one else knows what it is like to be you. I trust in you and your ability to make changes in your life. I see my role as more of a companion to walk alongside you on your journey as you explore your thoughts and feelings, doing therapy with you, not to you.


Practice description

Face to Face counselling

I can provide a safe and confidential space for you to talk about whatever is on your mind, which will be free from judgement or opinions. My practice is in Middleton on Sea, in a private room in my garden and is accessed via a gate at the back of the house.

Walk and Talk therapy

I can offer various locations, depending on where you live.

A change of scenery can often lead to a change in mindset and can feel less intense then sitting in a room. Walk and talk therapy can introduce clients to a natural kind of self-care that they can access at anytime.

I also offer online and telephone sessions.

People reach out for support for many reasons. Regardless of what your reason may be, I would like to invite you to get in touch for a free telephone consultation to discuss the potential of us working together.

My first session

I offer an initial free 30 minute telephone consultation to answer any questions you may have as well as finding out a bit more about you and your reasons for seeking counselling. This time is also to find out whether I am the right person to help, or whether you might need referring on to another service or colleague who might be more skilled in a particular area.
