Therapeutic approaches and online support
Jo uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client’s own goals and perspective. This approach involves active listening and empathetic reflection to help people feel heard and to support self-directed change; it is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.
She also integrates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple present-moment practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness techniques can be useful for managing stress, anxiety and sleep difficulties by helping clients develop awareness and calm.
Trauma-focused therapy is another element of her practice, offering targeted ways to process and work through the effects of traumatic events or abuse. This approach aims to help people build safety, understand trauma responses and find practical strategies for moving forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jo works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often tailor these approaches over time so the plan evolves with the client.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone work, live chat and text-based messaging - provide flexible options that fit different schedules and lifestyles. These formats make it easier to access therapy from home or between commitments and allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible.
