Background and approach

Jo draws on body-informed work alongside attachment and client-centred approaches. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used to help people understand and name feeling states.

Her practical focus is on what people can do between sessions. That might include simple grounding exercises, short behavioural experiments, or practising new ways of communicating. Jo works collaboratively to set clear, manageable goals and to track small steps of progress.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the UK and internationally. Jo provides therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.

How Jo's approaches work online

Somatic-informed work pays attention to sensations in the body and how they connect with emotions. It can help with trauma, anxiety and habits by offering gentle ways to notice and regulate physical reactions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and how they show up now. It helps people understand their emotional needs and how to ask for support more clearly. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering active listening and acceptance to help people find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit their goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel and allow people to choose the format that feels safest and most comfortable for them. Many find that combining short messaging with occasional video sessions supports steady progress.
