I’m Jo, a BACP accredited counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor based in Huddersfield, working with adults, young people, couples and people across the LGBTQ+ community. I offer a warm, affirming and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever has brought you to therapy at your own pace. My approach is integrative and relational, grounded in person-centred values while also drawing on psychodynamic theory, attachment work, trauma-informed practice and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I’m particularly interested in how our early relationships and experiences can shape identity, connection, belonging and the ways we relate to ourselves and others. 

I am a non-binary, LGBTQ+ affirmative psychodynamic therapist. I am passionate about making informed, non-judgemental therapy accessible for trans and queer communities. The way that I work focuses on the connections between our past and present relationships and experiences. By exploring how we have become stuck in unhelpful patterns, psychodynamic therapy can help us to recover a sense of choice and freedom in the way that we move through the world and relate to others. My approach also takes account of the importance of identity and cultural background in shaping our experience, and the intersections of oppression and mental health.

I work in Private Practice from Farringdon and New Cross Gate. ​I identify as queer and genderfluid.  After starting my working life as an actor, I began my counselling journey over 30 years ago as a Samaritan volunteer and spent 10 years working as a Counselling Supervisor at ChildLine. I managed METRO charity’s LGBTQIA+ Counselling service for 11-25 year olds, as well being responsible for covering the adult service. I am a member of the Gendered Intelligence Network for Therapists and Counsellors. I am also  a qualified teacher. Please see my website for current availability.

For many years, I didn’t believe in therapy. I thought friends and family could support us through difficulties and didn’t see the need for professional therapists.   But my views changed when a close friend went through a very painful period in their life and had counselling. I saw how therapy transformed them and began to think differently about it. I realised that, while the support of loved ones may be sufficient for some, for many it is invaluable to talk to someone objective, who is professionally trained to help.

I am a person-centred counsellor. This means I am here to accompany you on your journey with empathy and without judgment. I work on the principle that you are an expert on yourself and therefore you are the expert in how to resolve your difficulties. You are entirely free to bring whatever you need to sessions and express yourself however you feel is most effective.

If you are looking for couples relationship therapy, individual therapy, person-centred therapy or behavioural Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I offer all this in my practice.  I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation, so we can chat about what you want to bring to therapy, what you want from it, explore any questions you have and so you can get a sense whether I could be the right therapist for you, before booking a session. I offer face to face or online sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
