Some weekend availability for online/phone therapy upon request

Hi, I'm Jo, I offer integrative counselling and psychotherapy tailored to meet your needs. In-person sessions are offered in Morpeth and in Gosforth. Online/Phone therapy is available to anyone resident in the UK with a convenient online booking system.

Finding the right person to talk to is the most important part of that journey. I offer a free 15-minute consultation via Microsoft Teams or telephone. This is a chance for us to meet, discuss what you are looking for, and help you decide if I am the right therapist for you before committing to a full session.

How I can support You

I provide a safe, confidential space to explore a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. I have extensive experience supporting individuals through:

Emotional Wellbeing & Mental Health

• Helping you navigate the weight of Anxiety and Depression, and working to rebuild your sense of Low Self-Esteem.

Healing from Relational History

• Supporting those who have experienced Historic Abuse or Neglect, whether in childhood or within adult relationships. I also work with those experiencing current Conflict in Relationships or Family Conflict. (Please note: I work with individuals only; I do not offer couples therapy).

Navigating Change & Stress

• Providing tools to manage Workplace Stress and Career Burnout, as well as supporting you through the painful process of Divorce, Relationship Breakups, or significant Life Transitions.

My Approach

I practice as an Integrative Therapist. This means I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach. Instead, I adapt my methods to meet your specific goals, blending the empathy of Person-Centred Therapy with the practical insights of Transactional Analysis (TA) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Qualifications

• Foundation Degree in Counselling
• Diploma In Counselling Supervision
• BA Honours Degree in Applied Social Sciences
• BACP Accredited Course – Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-Cfd)

1. Initial Consultation (Free) I offer a free 15-minute consultation via Microsoft Teams or telephone. This is a chance for us to meet, discuss what you are looking for, and help you decide if I am the right therapist for you before committing to a full session.

2. The First Session In our first full session, we will explore the background of what has brought you to therapy. This ensures that the support I offer is perfectly tailored to your needs. If we both feel that we are a good fit, we can then arrange a regular schedule.

3. Ongoing Sessions

Frequency: Usually weekly or fortnightly, depending on your needs.

Duration: Each session lasts 50 minutes.

Duration of Therapy: There is no "one size fits all." Some clients find clarity in just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We will review our progress regularly to ensure therapy continues to work for you.

Location: In-person therapy is offered in Morpeth, Northumberland or Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Online video and phone therapy is available to anyone resident in the UK and can be arranged by contacting me directly or through a convenient online booking portal that can be accessed through my website.

I qualified as a counselling supervisor with a Diploma in Supervision in 2019, and have experience of supervising qualified and trainee counsellors.

I use the Seven-eyed Model of Supervision (Hawkins and Shohet), enabling an all-encompassing exploration of client sessions and the processes that occur in counselling and supervision. As counsellors I believe we are all continually learning and developing, and I understand the importance of feeling safe and respected in supervision sessions. I believe a supervisor should support a supervisee to develop their own way of working with clients and their issues.

I work in accordance with BACP ethics and guidelines.

I bring knowledge and experience from working as a counsellor since I qualified in 2010. I have provided counselling in a variety of settings including the NHS, mental health charities and employee assistance programmes (EAP). I have facilitated mental health support groups and courses in mental health charities, managed a counselling service and a team of counsellors.

I’m a registered and accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work as an integrative counsellor, adapting my approach to meet the individual needs of each client. The foundation of my approach is Person Centred Therapy; I also draw from Transactional Analysis (TA) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Qualifications

Foundation Degree in Counselling

Diploma In Counselling Supervision

BA Honours Degree in Applied Social Sciences

BACP Accredited Course – Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-Cfd)

I will provide you with a safe and non-judgemental space to explore your counselling practice and professional development. I can offer in-person supervision in Bedlington, Northumberland, via video or telephone.

Fees

Qualified therapists: £65 for 1.5 hours (£50 for 1 hour)

Trainee therapists: £55 for 1.5 hours (£45 for 1 hour)

Evenings: £75 for 1.5 hours (£60 for 1 hour)

I understand that it can be difficult to find the right supervisor. I offer a free 30 minute consultation so we can discuss your supervision needs, how we can work together, and you can ask questions. 

If you decide we can work together, we'll agree a contract in your first supervision session and I'll ask you about your experience as a counsellor so far.
