Psychotherapy, counselling & EMDR therapy - in Brighton & Online
Hi, I’m Jo
A registered and accredited psychotherapist and an EMDR Therapist working in private practice. I work both in-person and online.
I help people like you navigate life so you can lead it to the fullest. Through the process of therapy, my clients find relief to their distress, a commitment to life changes and an improvement in overall mental wellbeing.
Counselling is more than talking therapy. It’s a co-created relationship. You may have experience of ‘toxic’ or unhealthy relationships with others – or yourself. Which is why being met in a genuine relationship is the fundamental part of psychotherapy success.
Accepting you for who you are, right now, invites a realness and confidence to explore the parts of you that you might have felt the need to reject.
As a therapist, I recognise the difficulties & complexities experienced in life. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life and with a diversity of human experience. I work from a humanistic stance - incorporating aspects of Gestalt therapy, philosophy, Person-Centred principles and feminist therapy. Which means I believe all individuals have worth and will move towards change when provided with a facilitative relationship. My values of authenticity, growth and creativity inform my practice and way of being with clients.
I offer a 15 minute initial consultation, by phone or video call, so we can ‘meet’ virtually ahead of your first session

EMDR (Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) seems to provoke a reaction in people - one of curiosity. As the therapeutic approach gains a wider audience and becomes more accessible, a demystification process is underway with discussions on Instagram and TikTok, videos on Youtube and hundreds of Reddit threads. More and more people are sharing their experience of EMDR and what to anticipate. This blog aims to add to those discussions from the perspective of myself as therapist (and client).
