About Jo
Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience practising in the United Kingdom. She works to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. She aims to create an open space where people can talk without fear of judgement. Jo supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, eating difficulties and depression.
Jo focuses on practical, steady conversations rather than labels. She pays attention to how people form attachments and how past losses or abandonment can affect day-to-day life. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships, communication, and self-worth so clearer choices can be made.
The work draws on Client-Centred methods that place the person’s experience at the centre of the session. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-based ideas help with intimacy and relationship concerns by exploring emotional needs and responses.
Jo also brings an existential perspective when people face big life questions or are coping with loss and grief. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them weigh options and values. This can suit people who want depth alongside practical change.
Jo is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. If someone wishes to begin, the site’s Start Therapy button and short questionnaire are the first steps to match with her and arrange scheduling.
How Jo’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. In practice this means looking at patterns of closeness, abandonment and trust and naming how they show up now. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering a supportive space to reflect and make choices about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps by breaking down difficult thoughts and testing small changes to behaviour that can improve day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jo aims to collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful. She will listen to your goals, try different methods and adjust the plan as understanding grows so the sessions stay relevant to your needs.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel by removing commute time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is helpful, or sessions that focus more on talking rather than written exercises when that suits someone better.
