About Jo
Jo Almond uses a client-centred approach to help people find clearer ways forward. She draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice what is happening in their bodies and minds. Jo holds a BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Jo works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and those seeking coaching for professional life. She also supports people with ADHD, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, parenting strains and intimacy-related concerns.
How Jo works
Other areas she attends to include sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions and coping with major life changes. Her way of working is straightforward. Jo listens without judgement and helps people put words to their feelings.
She encourages practical steps that feel manageable and tailored to each person’s pace. Mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Somatic approaches invite attention to bodily sensations so emotions can be understood in a different way.
Sessions can include gentle exercises, breathing work and guided attention alongside talk-based reflection. Jo aims to make the first steps less daunting. She supports people to spot patterns, try small changes and build strategies that fit daily life.
People can expect a calm, patient presence and a focus on realistic goals and coping tools.

How Jo's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist and the relationship between them. It involves open listening, reflecting what is said and helping people find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, relationship issues and low self-esteem.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It is often used for stress, anxiety, sleeping problems and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jo will discuss goals, try techniques and adapt the work to what feels most helpful. Decisions about which methods to use are made together and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and short exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs less screen time or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective notes or shorter sessions between calls. These options aim to make therapy fit around work, family and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
