About me and my therapy practice
Hi, my name's Jo and I’m a BACP-registered integrative counsellor.
I know that reaching out for help can be hard – perhaps you've always tried to cope alone, or perhaps you're worried about becoming overwhelmed. I want to assure you, that whatever you're feeling, we can face it together.
- Perhaps you feel anxious all the time, and struggle even to face the day?
- Are you stressed out, overwhelmed, desperate for a good night's sleep, or finding yourself lashing out at loved ones?
- Have you experienced a loss and want to explore what that means for you?
- Do you feel stuck, plagued with thoughts that you don't want?
- Maybe you feel lost, wishing you could regain some confidence or purpose?
- Or perhaps you want to heal, or want to explore the deepest, most vulnerable parts of yourself and understand who you really are?
I’m a skilled counsellor, and a warm and friendly person, and I believe that the compassion, kindness and hope I will bring to you, and the trusting relationship we'll form, are what will help you move towards a brighter, happier future for yourself.
At the centre of every one of our sessions will be you – your thoughts, your feelings, your memories, your experiences, your pain. I’ll listen with compassion and without judgement, creating a safe space where we can talk about the difficult things that have happened in your past, or the problems you are having in the present. And as we explore together, you'll begin to make sense of how you feel. I may gently challenge you to notice unhelpful patterns, and I will bear witness to the difficult things that have happened, whether that's loss, betrayal, trauma or abuse – there is nothing you can say that I'm not OK with hearing.
Practice description
As an integrative counsellor, I use a number of approaches tailed to suit your individual needs and wants. Key to my approach is the relationship that we'll form together, built on trust, openness and acceptance. I describe it as going on a car journey together. You'll be in the driving seat, but I'll be right there with you. I might point things out along the way that I notice, or invite you to try a different direction.
I use some CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) techniques, because I believe these can really help in making sense of your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. We may also look at your relationships, your past, and how you feel about yourself. I'm also trained and experienced in working with trauma. I understand the impact that difficult experiences can have on us, and I can help you find ways to cope and feel more at ease with yourself and your place in the world.
I’m also experienced in working with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, childhood trauma, bereavement, insomnia, issues around eating, family dynamics and toxic relationships, among many other issues. I work with adults and young people.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked as a counsellor in Luton All Women’s Centre, supporting women who have experienced abuse, domestic violence and coercive control, and I have provided therapy to staff and students at a secondary school.
My first session
I know it can be hard to reach out for help, and it's important to find a counsellor you feel comfortable with. That's why I offer a free 20-minute telephone call in which we can get to know each other and you can ask any questions you might have.
