Jo Shaw
About the Therapist
I'm an 'integrative' psychotherapist working face-to-face in a quiet and private location 3 minutes walk from London Bridge station and online via Zoom with clients from all over the UK. I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling (and am in the final stages of an MA). This built on my Foundation Certificate. And that built on many years 'out there' in the world - in a career that involved listening to and understanding people, running training, mentoring and coaching the young people who worked with me, plus trying to guide businesses to make choices that improved people's lives. Along the way came a period of intense personal turmoil around my own identity, through which I had to pull myself. I try to bring both my life experience and my training to bear in the support I offer my clients. I am a trans woman and pansexual.

I work with a wide range of people, from the LGBTQI+ community and from the cisgender/hetero world. I have experience of working with suicidal people and also spent years in voluntary advocacy and support roles for trans, non binary, gender questioning and gender expansive people. I've worked with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-worth, family and relationship tensions, abuse (emotional, psychological and sexual), bullying, emotional vulnerability and sensitivity, stress, gender and sexual identity and more. As an 'integrative' psychotherapist, I've trained in a range of approaches and ways of thinking which I can draw on to find what's right for you. I'll spend a lot of time listening with empathy and, always working collaboratively with you to find what feels right, help you find a way forward.
