How Client-Centred Therapy translates to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a space where people can explore their feelings. In practice this means the therapist reflects what’s said, asks gentle questions and keeps the person’s experience central. This approach can be useful for concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles and codependency.Jo also draws on a range of therapeutic practices as needed, always keeping the person at the centre of decisions about technique. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process - the therapist and client talk through what feels helpful and adjust work as aims evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. Some people also find it simpler to join from wherever they are, while others prefer in-person meetings where available; Jo will help you choose the best way to work together based on your needs and preferences.
