Current Practice and Special Interest

Jo has special interest in strengthening and supporting people as they navigate challenging issues, emotions and relationships. At the heart of Jo's practice is the understanding that each of us at our core, have the desire to thrive in life and be closely connected with those we love; yet for so many reasons we get stuck. For Jo, therapy is the collaborative process of healing, both within ourselves and between each other, acknowledging our past hurts and moving towards a more enriched and satisfying life.

Jo is committed to demystifying the therapy process "therapy is a space where you can experience something new, learn the skills and apply them to your life, anytime, anywhere". Emotionally Focused Therapy is a safe and evidence-based process of deepening connection and restoring trust.

It takes a whole lot of courage to reach out for therapy so it's vital to find the right therapist, Jo loves partnering with her clients to 'do the work' towards health and healing from the inside out.
