Jo Ward-Mackie
Psychotherapist, MBABCP
Aside from using CBT, Jo is also trained in EMDR , acceptance and Commitment therapy and compassionate focussed therapies, which she has found particularly beneficial in treating self esteem, depression, panic attacks and trauma.
Life can be very fast paced, hectic and often we are not taught how to cope with any stresses that may arise. Over my time working in mental health, I have worked within many specialist services including outpatient services, addiction therapy programmes, general psychiatry in IAPT services and on psychiatric wards. This vast amount of experience over 11 years, has enabled me to develop a passion to help others feel empowered , to overcome lifes challenges and to learn how to take better care of themselves in the process.

The conflict to fit in, whilst being true to yourself - creates tension, anxiety, depression, poor coping strategies.
I have considerable experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles (plus autism/high sensitivity). I offer you a confidential space to explore whats really going on for you - away from the fast paced outside world. By addressing these internal conflicts, you can find peace with yourself, and the wider world.
