Practice description
My name is Jo (she/her). I understand how important it is to ensure that LGBTQ+ people can access individual counselling and therapy knowing that they will be safe, accepted and understood and not have to explain their gender or sexuality. I also work with people exploring and questioning their sexuality and / or gender, and all the other issues that come with being human. I understand that we are not all the same and we will each have parts of our identity that intersect and impact our experience. As a feminist I recognise the different power systems that exist and the impact of these individually and collectively. I will not make assumptions about you but instead be open to listening and exploring what you need.
Therapy qualifications
Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative counselling, Diploma in Humanistic Integrative counselling and a certificate in Humanistic Integrative counselling.
Other therapy skills
I worked in services supporting survivors of domestic abuse for 18 years.
