ONLINE: Therapy for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed or misunderstood
I am a Chartered and Registered Psychologist with over 20 years’ experience. I work with individuals who may appear strong on the outside but internally carry stress, shame or a sense of feeling “stuck.” You may have coped alone for a long time, or felt misunderstood in past therapy. I offer a calm, safe space to explore complex feelings and patterns — especially for those who find it hard to trust or fear judgement, and who want to understand themselves more deeply, not just ‘cope’. Therapy here is not about perfection — it’s about honest transformation.

I work with adults experiencing PTSD, trauma, phobias, fear-based avoidance, panic and anxiety (including OCD) that impacts daily functioning, confidence and quality of life. I offer evidence-based support using EMDR and CBT. This ensures therapy is focused, effective, measurable and tailored to achieve meaningful, lasting change. Recovery from trauma and anxiety often involves more than talking in a therapy room. Together, we work to reduce fear, rebuild confidence and help you to re-engage with situations, environments or activities that may feel overwhelming or restricted after difficult experiences.

Hi, I'm Jo and I specialise in working with individuals who are facing struggles in their life due to feelings of low self-worth, anxiety, and shame. Perhaps the emotional pain has led you to engage in behaviours that help you to escape or distract from difficult thoughts or feelings. Sometimes this can show up as out of control behaviours such as gambling, use of pornography, sex, or alcohol/drugs. Sometimes it can lead to overworking and burnout. Would you like to find some compassion and acceptance for all those parts of you? Are there aspects of your behaviours you’d like to change?

Do you identify as autistic, ADHD or neurodivergent? Have you tried to get help before but found that services weren’t accessible to you or tailored to the way your brain works or your priorities?
I often work with people who have tried therapy before but found it hasn’t made a meaningful change. Perhaps they keep getting into bad relationships or feel stuck in a cycle of burnout they can’t break. They might be left feeling like they’ve failed at therapy, when, in fact, therapy that has failed them.
