How Jo's approaches work online
Jo uses client-centred counselling to follow what a person brings to a session, offering space to be heard and to make sense of feelings. This approach suits people who want a therapist who listens first and helps them set the agenda.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments that change reactions and behaviour. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. When trauma memories are a focus, Jo can work with eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, or EMDR, which supports processing distressing memories in a structured way.
Choosing the most suitable approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits longer conversations where visual contact helps. Phone calls can be easier if someone has limited bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when written reflection feels helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and hectic days.
