About Jo

Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP membership, and she focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, depression and related concerns. Jo aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly about what is going on for them.

Her work emphasises practical conversation and clear goals. She listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings and relationships, then helps people try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and paced to the client’s needs, whether someone wants short-term help or a longer path to change. Jo draws on several approaches to shape sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood.

Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and early attachments are causing pain. Emotion-focused methods support people trying to access and name strong feelings safely. Many clients come with grief, relationship troubles, parenting stress, sleep or intimacy issues, or career-related anxiety.

Jo also supports people dealing with codependency, body image concerns, dissociation and complex life transitions. Her style is warm, direct and collaborative, aiming to build trust and steady progress. She works with LGBT concerns and offers coaching for practical change alongside therapeutic work.

Jo accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange appointments to suit their schedules.

Ways of working Jo names

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 translate to online therapy

Jo commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred conversation. CBT is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-based work focuses on relationship patterns from early life and helps people change how they connect with others and with themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jo will discuss what feels most relevant and adapt methods to the client's goals and preferences. That means deciding collaboratively whether to emphasise thinking-tools, emotional processing or simply holding a steady listening space.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
