About Jo

Jo Almond is a counsellor who offers a calm, practical way of working through stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma. She uses straightforward conversation and listening to help people make sense of what they are feeling. Her background also includes coaching for professionals and support around grief, addiction and life changes.

Jo has four years of experience in therapeutic work across UK settings. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She draws on approaches that focus on the body, present-moment awareness and the person-centred relationship to guide sessions. In sessions she pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and what is happening in day-to-day life. This helps turn big, confusing feelings into small, manageable steps.

Jo aims to make each session practical, with ideas people can try between meetings. She is comfortable talking about trauma and abuse and works to create a non-judgemental space where people can share difficult memories at a pace that suits them. Jo also helps with areas such as ADHD, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and career stress.

Jo offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Jo's Approaches Work Online

Jo uses trauma-focused therapy to help people address painful memories and overwhelming emotions in a paced, step-by-step way. This approach looks at the impact of past harm and how it affects daily thoughts, feelings and relationships.

She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions are guided by the person's own priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jo will discuss options openly and adapt methods to match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice happens together, so people feel involved in planning their work.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact is helpful. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when fitting support around a busy day.

These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
