I can't thank Jo-Ann enough for being part of my healing process. She is patient and understanding, I felt very safe telling her some of the most embarrassing thoughts and actions in order to find patterns and awareness in my behaviour. I feel I'm on track in a journey of self-improvement and I thank Jo-Ann for helping me get there.

My name's Jo, I'm a relationally trained Psychotherapist/Counsellor.
I believe that life can sometimes be overwhelming and we are often a mystery to ourselves.
We can get lost in overthinking and lose our way.
I support people to understand themselves better and learn healthier coping mechanisms.
I am credentialed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse.
I also have experience working with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Down to earth and very relatable. Jo is open and non judgement. I found her very easy to talk to. Would recommend :)
Jo is the most wonderful listener. Kind, generous, and open. She has truly helped me to navigate some big life changes and always made me smile in every session no matter how bad I was feeling. I’d highly recommend Jo to anyone who needs therapy sessions that feel like a hug and a safe space to cry a bit..!
Jo Anne is amazing. Really gets it.emotionaly. She is humourouse human and right on with her responses.I feel I can be open and she gives constructive feedback with a new perspective and insight.
Jo Ann helped me tackle issues in my life for the first time, I strongly appreciate her attentiveness and support and feel very comfortable exposing myself and my thoughts to her. Jo Ann is helping me to change and become a better person, I can’t thank her enough for that.
I have nothing but good things to say about my therapy journey with Jo, she approaches every session in a kind, approachable, friendly manner. Would highly recommend to anyone a session with Jo.
Wonderful to be listened to and understood. Jo-Ann remembers my issues from week to week and has been great at recommending different things to read or to consider between sessions which has really helped. Her expertise and experiencing has shone through our sessions and I am very grateful for her help. NHS counselling is few and far between so being able to get help through Betterhelp quickly has been really important to my recovery and understanding of PTSD.
