Hello, I’m Jo.

I am a BACP Registered Counsellor based between Wantage & Abingdon, South Oxfordshire.

You may be reading my website because you’re feeling that counselling could be helpful for you at this moment in your life. In addition to talking with friends and family, we can often benefit from some extra support. This is where counselling can be useful, when we are facing challenging emotions and situations.

The working relationship you form with a counsellor will be really important for you. Knowing that you can completely trust that person with your thoughts and feelings will help you feel safe and will allow you to comfortably explore whatever is requiring your attention right now. 

Working Together

I adopt a person-centred approach which simply means we focus on what you want to talk about – after all, this is about you. My role is to truly listen, to better understand how life feels for you. I will ask questions that are designed to increase my understanding of your experiences and feelings. 

What I won’t do is tell you that I know how you feel, tell you how you should feel or give you advice on how to fix it. I will stay right beside you as we work through whatever is troubling you. Through the process of counselling, we will explore ways to build your inner resources and develop individual and personal approaches that you can take into your future.

Before you decide if we would work well together, I offer a free initial session. This 30 minute meeting would not commit you to working with me; you might like to think of it a bit like taking a car for a test drive, see how it feels for you. 

After that, sessions are 50 minutes every week from my therapy room in East Hanney. This is within easy reach of Abingdon, Didcot and Wantage. This session fee is £55.00*. 

If you have difficulty travelling to East Hanney, I’d be happy to discuss the option of working from your home. Please get in touch if you want to talk about this.

*Concessions are available, including for counselling students, so please do ask.
