Jo is passionate about helping people to find ways to make sense of and manage painful and complex thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and a way out of the traps of psychological difficulties.  Jo is qualified in the use of EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy, an evidence-based approach effective in helping people recover from trauma, and other distressing life experiences.

Jo’s warm and compassionate approach builds a trusting and therapeutic rapport to work in partnership with clients and is able to use this space to collaborate a formulation of the client’s difficulties.  Maintaining a person-centred care, individuals feel empowered with the direction and pace that their therapy takes to achieve their treatment goals.

Jo strives to be responsive to the needs of clients and often draws upon a number of approaches to inform her work including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
