About Jo
Jo Reidy brings 15 years of professional experience to her counselling practice in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, eating concerns and depression. Jo aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
She works to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings openly.
How Jo works
Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she encourages practical steps alongside reflection. In sessions Jo often draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also uses client-centred approaches that put each person's priorities at the centre of the work.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are available when clients want clear, structured ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Jo has supported people through grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain and workplace stress. She also works with concerns such as sleeping problems, self-esteem, anger and coping with life changes.
Complex areas like dissociation, attachment difficulties and body image are included in her experience. Her sessions suit people who want practical tools as well as space to make sense of their feelings. She helps clients set realistic goals and notice small changes between sessions.
The overall aim is to support calmer day-to-day living and clearer choices about the future.

How Jo's approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. It can help when relationship fears, abandonment worries or attachment difficulties feel overwhelming.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens actively and helps clients find their own solutions, which suits people wanting a respectful, exploratory space.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides structured ways to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jo will discuss options and work collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals and preferences. The plan can change as people learn what helps them most.
Online therapy methods include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat gives a shorter real-time check-in, and messaging suits those who prefer writing between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
