Hello and welcome, I'm Jo, your integrative, trauma-informed counsellor, committed to providing compassionate support and guidance to those impacted by trauma. Do you struggle with self-esteem, self worth, setting healthy boundaries, or anxiety? Are you seeking to feel 'enough' and build self confidence ? You're not alone. I'm here to provide you with compassionate care and unwavering acceptance. Together, we'll break down barriers and help you become the person you want to be. It just takes courage and the desire for change

Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed, anxious or uncertain? Do you feel unable to cope or have low self esteem? You may be facing new challenges and difficulties or perhaps you are stuck and don't know where to turn or what to do. Troubling times can leave us feeling hopeless, sad, and wondering what the point of it is. Therapy is a place for you to work through these things and find ways to feel better in yourself and hopeful for the future.

I am warm, empathetic and open; I offer a non-judgemental, supportive, confidential space for you to bring any needs or concerns, no matter how small. You may perhaps be feeling stuck, numb, empty; maybe stressed, confused, down, unable to cope or generally not like yourself. You may not be sure about why you are coming to see me, but just know that things are not okay in your life. You may have spiritual or existential questions you want to engage with.

We all develop ways to protect ourselves, even when they don't serve us well. If you feel you want to create new ways of being to replace the armour that no longer serves you, we can make that journey together. If you feel that you're not living to your full potential or that you're never really heard, supported or understood, if anxiety is ever present, you don't need to be alone as we can explore all this together. If your mind is an endless cycle of thoughts keeping you awake at night, expressing your thoughts in a safe environment can bring them into the open for you to examine from a different perspective.

I work with warmth and empathy and from a non-judgemental approach enabling you to reflect on your feelings and the changes you may want to make within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship.

If you're here, your probably finding life tough at the moment. Perhaps your anxiety levels are going through the roof or maybe you're wondering what's happening in your relationships?

Therapy can help you find a way forward if you're struggling. If you come to see me, together we will find ways to alleviate your distress, understand what's going on and how, with awareness, things can change.

We all can get swirled and swished around in an intense and anxious life struggles, forever burdening ourselves in the depth of our restless mind. I hold a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your believes about yourself about events you experienced in life. I am passionate about guiding people towards loving acceptance and self-compassion. Quantum healing happens when your fragmented aspect of you, which were stuck in space and time, breaks free from emotional attachment to the experience and come to wholeness by gaining back freedom, inner power and creative life flow. You become free sovereign being of light.

I understand that seeking therapy can be both comforting and daunting, but it can also be liberating and I commend individuals who reach out for help. Our pain can often be a message that there is something amiss in our lives, and I believe it is important that we listen to that message. Whether you are dealing with a difficult time in your life and need help managing the emotions and thoughts, I aim to assist individuals to better understand the relationship between their feelings and thoughts and explore ways to change maladaptive patterns.
