About me and my therapy practice

JUST BETWEEN US

Hi I'm Jo, I have worked in educational settings for 15 years, currently I support a school as a school counsellor with which I have a DBS to enable me to do this, along with running my practice from home, enabling me to have a flexible approach by offering remote and face to face counselling to a diverse set of clients. My work also takes me to work with charities and EAP services. I have gained lots of experience dealing with self- harm, friendship/family dynamics, couple's relationships, loss and bereavement, stress, anxiety, self-esteem and confidence, to name a few. 

My counselling placement was based at MIND where I worked with elders, adults and teens. I attended many courses to complement the many varied issues I was faced with. 

I am a BACP registered counsellor, my course was also accredited by the BACP and I have a DBS certificate which enables me to work with children. I offer a humanistic person-centred approach, whist incorporating other modalities such as C.B.T (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Solution focussed therapy, mindfulness and coaching if needed, to get the most from our sessions. I access many courses to keep up to date with my CPD and apply my knowledge learnt into my session with clients.

The above tailored specifically to your needs as everyone is individual and I feel what could work for one person might not be the same for another. I find that I am a natural empathic person who can easily put myself in your frame of reference, with a non- judgemental outlook on our time spent with each other.

I have been lucky in life to be able to facilitate others in many walks of life by using my counselling skills and hope to do the same with you at "Just Between Us".

Practice description

I will provide a safe confidential place for you to express your needs without interrupting your flow and talking about myself, which I know can happen lots in life when discussing our worries.

I aim to help you become clearer about your problems while finding strategies and solutions to help you grow and manage them more effectively, incorporating the therapeutic core conditions of counselling needed for change- unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence all delivered by the therapist to be received by the client.

I reflect on my practice by thinking " What would I want from therapy" with this in mind I can provide a safe inviting space that's heated, toilet facilities, accessible parking where I come out to meet you at every session, there is also great transport links that are 5 min away. Flexible times to suit where a mix of face to face and remote therapy can be used when need be.

I offer a free 15/30 min telephone consultation for us to engage and see if we can work together, giving you chance to ask any questions regarding the session.

I believe that counselling should be accessible to all so therefore offer a reduced rate to Students, Senior citizens and unemployed

My first session

Our first session will comprise of getting to know each other, agreement of a contract about how we will work together and what can be expected. What you aim to get from the counselling sessions and your goals for the future including strategies to get there.

The sessions usually last 50 min and are on a weekly basis, although this is flexible. I can provide face to face counselling, telephone or online (which I have been trained in)

You will lead the sessions and can bring whatever you wish to, I won't pressure to explore or reflect on something you don't want to. I believe that you are the answer to your issues, and I will help provide the tools needed for you to flourish in life independently.
