About me
I am an experienced therapist and supervisor and work as a tutor and assessor for the Human Givens College, where I also hold the role of Co-head of Supervision.
I have a specialist interest in student mental health and the link between wellbeing and learning. I’ve worked extensively in the Higher Education sector both as a therapist, educator and consultant in student mental health. I am also an assessor for the University Mental Health Charter. My other key area of interest and expertise is sleep, including its role in mental and physical health. I work with both registered and trainee therapists based in the UK and internationally.

Testimonials
"Jo has been and continues to be a never ending source of knowledge, support and kindness. Jo works with objectivity, offering a guiding second brain, offering relevant resources, practical advice and alternative ways of developing my practice. I can hand on heart say I would not be anywhere close to the position I am in without her. Jo is the best"
"I am very happy to recommend Jo as a supervisor without any reservations. I have enjoyed incredible levels of support from her through some challenging times. Jo's great communication and organisation means she finds the time to be available to her supervisees and to respond to their needs. Her relaxed professionality allows you to feel very comfortable to bring anything to the table. Jo listens, seeks to truly understand and reflects with wonderful wisdom, bringing learning and growth. Time with Jo comes with sound advice, positive direction and leaves you feeling confident and smiling."
“Jo has been my supervisor for over a year and in that time has supported me through part 2 and 3 of the Human Givens Diploma. Throughout this process she showed her belief in my capabilities at every stage. Her ability to simplify the complex, provide reassurance and support, sprinkled with a dash of humour and enthusiasm makes supervision something I really look forward to. Her warmth and caring nature is evident throughout our meetings and she provides a safe space to ask questions and reflect on my own practice. Jo has a wealth of knowledge on psychology and therapeutic practice and is someone I trust to guide me in an ethical and professional way.”
"Jo is the best supervisor you could ever wish for. There is no end to her knowledge and experience. She is warm and supportive, and gives you the space to work through challenges with just the right level of guidance. Jo's support throughout the build up and during my practitioner's assessment was amazing. I am so grateful to have her as my professional sounding board."
