About Me
Hi, I’m Jo, an integrative counsellor passionate about helping people through life’s challenges and supporting them in reaching their full potential. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, and relationship difficulties, with a special focus on the neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ communities, click 'Therapeutic Focus' to find out more.
Before becoming a counsellor, I studied psychology (BSc and MSc), which sparked my curiosity about how we think, feel, and behave. I also gained experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities and neurodivergent clients, which has helped shape my compassionate, personalised approach.
If you're looking for support to navigate life's challenges and make positive changes, I provide a warm, welcoming space where you’ll feel truly heard and valued. Together, we will tailor the counselling to suit your needs and work at a pace that feels right for you.
What clients say
“After my ADHD diagnosis, Jo provided a safe, compassionate space to explore my experiences and better understand myself. Her ability to explain things in a way that resonated with my neurodiverse mind was invaluable. The sessions helped me gain insight, trust, and closure around long-standing challenges, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking neurodivergent-affirming counselling.”
“I highly recommend Jo as a compassionate, skilled counsellor. She creates a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered. Her professionalism, empathy, and insight make her an invaluable resource for anyone seeking therapeutic support.“
