Testimonials from clients/supervisees (anonymised for confidentiality)
"I am really thankful for our sessions over the last two and a bit years as they have taught me a lot about myself and how to cope and manage my anxiety."

"Therapy with Jo has been a real journey. I really did not want to get help for my anxiety, and especially not therapy, and only sought help after about a year of struggling with my mental health. I reluctantly contacted Jo and I will forever be grateful that I did. Jo is so sensitive, caring and supportive yet also proactive, logical and grounded. These qualities combined meant that every session with Jo was constructive and valuable but never draining. She respected my boundaries and if an exercise ever felt too much or not quite right, I never felt uncomfortable or awkward voicing this to Jo. We would then work through it together, and I always felt very supported. Although I am sad not to see Jo every week any more, I am proud and impressed with how far I have come after working with Jo. The exercises and knowledge that I gained through my sessions with Jo truly are invaluable and very powerful. I am so grateful for the sessions that we've had together!"

"Jo is an incredibly empathetic, warm and patient therapist. I always felt she held such a vast space for me, enabling me to explore what my body and the sessions brought up and supporting that process in a calm and nurturing way. I really enjoyed hearing her knowledge and insights which furthered my journey and our time together. I felt safe and welcomed in every session."

"Our sessions remind me of what it is to be truly human, in all its shapes and forms. The space that Jo holds is full of hope which creates an abundance of warmth and support. Jo has the ability to meet me in moments of vulnerability and support me in coming home to myself. In working with Jo, I feel that I have found a wonderful life teacher, supervisor and genuine human being."

"Best treatment I've had in regards to both the content and the therapist, I feel very indebted, left every session feeling better and have noticed many improvements outside of sessions. Feel like for once I have tools to deal with issues."

I just want to say thank you for setting a fantastic example of what supervision can be (I'm a little worried the next won't work as well or as easily!). It felt so helpful to me that you were always happy to be with me as and where I was, allowing me to bring as much or as little structure as felt necessary to our sessions and to bring as much of myself and my "own stuff" as felt needed at the time. I'll miss working with you dearly and will treasure that feeling I had during our time together of being held, respected and of just having fun. You helped me see myself and clients in a different way but also helped me value and honour my own initial insights as legitimate ways of understanding my client work. Thanks for your support, kindness and for taking the time to get to know me.

"I have worked with Jo as my supervisor for over 15 months now and have found her to be nothing but incredibly supportive, intuitive, and insightful. She has (gently) pushed and challenged me to look at all aspects of my clinical practice and has helped me in so many different ways as I continue to grow my private practice work. Jo is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Jo!"

"Been an extremely useful and valuable few weeks that has helped me considerably. Jo was excellent, very knowledgeable and understanding."
* * * * *
"Accommodating exercises and comfortable atmosphere. Jo really engaged instead of just listening like other counsellors would do and understood everything. Jo really helped me which I started to believe no therapist could. Thank you for believing in me and for believing in my potential."

“I originally saw Jo to help me cope with my grief better. I found Jo to be very supportive and intuitive. Together we explored the ways how body language is connected to emotions - something I wouldn’t have considered before. Importantly, I can apply to other aspects of life too."

"Jo is an amazingly friendly and happy woman. She put me at ease from the moment I met her and I really looked forward to our sessions where I could talk about my successes. Jo never made me feel silly and always re-assured me whether it was in words or silently.
Thanks to Jo I have the light back in my life. She got me away from the dark times I had surrounded myself with and the grey aura I always seemed to have around me. She showed me that I hadn’t lost myself at all. I just needed some friendly help to get me back to enjoying life, understanding who I really am and learning to really listen to myself.
I’m thoroughly enjoying getting to know myself again and a lot of that is thanks to Jo for reminding me that I can do anything I put my mind to but not to push myself too hard. I have achieved many things since I started seeing Jo – many of them I wouldn’t have thought possible but I’m glad she guided me and believed in me the way she did."
