Integrative and Person-Centred Care Delivered Online



Jo works from an integrative, person-centred perspective. Person-centred therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental relationship in which the client is treated as the expert on their own life - this approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and general anxiety because it prioritises personal insight and strengths. An integrative approach means Jo can draw on a variety of evidence-based techniques and tailor them to the individual - combining tools from different methods to address complex issues such as trauma, family conflict, or mood difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Jo collaborates with clients to explore which techniques feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the way sessions proceed as trust and clarity develop. This collaborative process helps ensure the therapy is a good fit for each person.

Online therapy with Jo is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals and therapists without the need to travel, and they allow clients to choose the format that best suits their daily life and communication style.
