Hello and welcome
I’m Jo, a UK-based integrative therapist and EMDR Practitioner.
I help self-reliant ‘copers’ overcome anxiety and relationship challenges so they can be the person - friend, parent, partner, colleague - they want to be. I love seeing my clients feeling more resolved, experiencing more rewarding relationships, feeling free to make the changes and choices they need to, and more able to be present in - and enjoy - the here and now.
Have a look around and, if you feel that the way I work could help you, let’s talk. I offer a free 20-minute introductory call.
Why You Might Be Here
If you’ve found your way here, you’re ready for change.
You’re likely someone who has always been pretty self-sufficient, competent, able to manage things. Lately, though, you’ve been struggling.
Perhaps you’re having strong emotional reactions to interactions with people or situations - flare-ups - which are making things worse at home or at work. Maybe you’re struggling to set boundaries in important relationships, to say what you want and need.
Maybe you’re feeling on edge a lot of the time: scanning for problems or difficulties, wanting to feel in control that you know you can’t really control. Certain things might unexpectedly trigger strong reactions and send you spiralling: something on the TV; a throwaway comment from a friend; or a song on the radio.
Perhaps you dread specific situations like an upcoming journey, an adult child leaving home, a meeting at work, or even just getting everyone out of the house in the morning. You don’t know why, but these situations feel like they take over. You’re a little stuck on how to move forward.
Whatever challenge you are facing, you’re ready to overcome it.
