Hi, my name is JoJo, and I am a qualified person-centred counsellor based in Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes. I offer in-person sessions, online counselling, and even walking therapy sessions. I work with individuals aged 14 and above, supporting a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, body image, disordered eating, self-harm, sexuality, LGBTQI matters, ADHD, neurodiversity, and challenges related to blended families. My approach focuses on building a trusting relationship, finding areas of connection, and working at a pace that feels right for you.
From my own experience of receiving counselling, I understand how daunting it can feel to sit with a stranger and share feelings that may be challenging, deeply hidden, or even tied to shame. My style is intuitive, engaging, and empathetic—I strive to actively listen to you and create a space where you feel heard. And yes, sometimes we might even laugh!
I offer a free 15-minute "Get to Know Me" session where we can chat informally. This is an opportunity for you to learn more about how I work and see if we connect. There's no pressure to go into detail about why you're seeking counselling; it's simply a chance to explore if we’d be a good fit to work together.
Call or Joanne Blythen now for a free 15 minute consultation - 01908 103712

I often start by using a person-centered approach, which is built on the foundation of forming a relationship of trust between us that is focused on me listening to you and understanding what your bringing to therapy. Together we can then decide what is the most appropriate way to support you to make progress and start to make the changes you want to see.
