Jo Eaton

I offer online, face to face or outdoor counselling to adults and young people (over 16), on a short or long term basis. I provide a relaxed, safe and confidential environment in which you are free to be yourself without being judged. 

I'm down to earth and understand it can be daunting to reach out for help and start talking. We will take things at your pace.

I am experienced in working with issues such as anxiety, depression, negative beliefs about yourself, stress and burn-out, low self esteem, loss and bereavement, lack of confidence, coping with change and life transitions, work-related issues, relationships, family difficulties and more.

My training has given me a wide variety of tools and techniques that I can adapt to suit you and your unique situation.

I look forward to hearing from you. 

I have a limited number of in-person sessions available in Lewes at the moment. 

I also have availability at my other location at Wilderness Wood, Hadlow Down, East Sussex. 

I can also deliver counselling online via video call or telphone for those that prefer to meet this way. 

The first session is no obligation and provides a chance to talk a bit about what has brought you to counselling at this time and for you to see if you feel comfortable with me.

It's also a chance to discuss any concerns you might have and I will be happy to answer any questions about what to expect or about how counselling works, especially if this is your first time.

I will also ask you some questions to help me get a sense of your current situation and make sure I have the relevent expertise to support you. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

The first session will last 30-40 minutes and be at a reduced fee. 

I currently have availability for outdoor walking sessions.

I can also offer indoor, in person sessions based at the Health Hut at Wilderness Wood. Alternatively we can meet via online video call. 

I offer walk and talk counselling outdoors in the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex.

Having counselling outdoors offers a unique alternative to traditional therapy in a room or online. Many people find that the outside space and the beauty of the Ashdown Forest is therapeutic in itself. 

Walking can help to facilitate discussion and create movement in your thoughts, feelings and ideas. You may find the setting feels less contained or intimidating than working indoors. 

We will take things at your pace, both with what we talk about and with the walk itself. The phsycial benefits can also help to create a more holistic experience in terms of taking care of your wellbeing.

I have undertaken additional training to work in this way and we will discuss confidentiality outdoors as well as any other concerns before the first meeting. 

I am experienced in working with issues such as anxiety, depression, negative beliefs about yourself, stress and burn-out, low self esteem, loss and change, lack of confidence, life transitions, work-related issues, relationship difficulties, family dynamics and more.

As an integrative therapist, I can adapt my approach to suit you and your unique situation.

I look forward to hearing from you. 

The Ashdown Forest provides a beautiful backdrop for outdoor counselling. You will need a basic level of fitness as well as some trainers or walking boots. 

I am happy to go out in all weathers except for heavy rain and strong wind as it can be hard to hear one another. If the weather is very bad we can use online or phone as a back up.

The first session is no obligation and provides a chance to talk a bit about what has brought you to counselling at this time and for you to see if you feel comfortable with me. We will meet online first before venturing outdoors. 

Feel free to discuss any concerns you might have and I will be happy to answer any questions about what to expect or about how counselling works outdoors, especially if this is your first time seeking therapy. 

I will also ask you some questions to help me get a sense of your current situation and make sure I have the relevent expertise to support you. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

The first session will be at a reduced fee.
