Jo Ahmed, BACP

Jo Ahmed is a counselling therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings a calm, collaborative presence to clinical work. She practices from a client-centered approach and holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional standards in the UK. Jo aims to create an environment where clients feel heard and accepted and where exploration of thoughts and feelings can lead to greater understanding and personal insight.

With experience across private and public sectors, Jo has developed particular expertise supporting people with work-related stress, family trauma, burnout and long-term health conditions. She is attentive to the needs of intersectional individuals and seeks to offer a space that reduces the need to repeatedly explain identities or experiences. Her practice also supports a broad range of common mental health concerns and relationship difficulties, and she is comfortable offering both short-term and longer-term work depending on what a client needs.

Jo describes her therapeutic role as one of genuine empathy and congruence, answering questions without jargon and keeping the client at the centre of the process. She draws on client-centered principles to help people explore change from their own experience and resources, offering understanding rather than assumptions at each step.
