Face to Face

Jo's passion is to help us understand and have better insight into what may be going on for us if we experience difficulties with our mental health, and most importantly what we can do about it.

I have always been interested in people and how each one of us behaves differently when we are faced with certain difficulties that life can sometimes present.

Having worked as an occupational therapist (OT) in the NHS for over three decades, I've had the privilege of getting to know people facing difficult times in their lives and am often impacted by th

The most common reasons clients seek help from me are related to stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, and work-related issues.

I run face-to-face sessions in Yorkshire including in Leeds, York, Hull and Bridlington. I run online sessions wherever you are in the world. 

I have a deep understanding about mental health and wellbeing, and experience of working with people in tnany different situations in their lives. Clients feed back that I am calm, warm and approachable - that they feel accepted and comfortable being themselves. The approach aims to help people to overcome problems that might at first feel overwhelming, breaking down complex issues into practical, manageable steps. My goal is to build hope, motivation and a clear focus to achieve the positive changes that matter to you. 

Difficult and challenging life situations affect us all. Sometimes however, we can get overwhelmed or find it a struggle to cope with these things, whether they are in our surroundings, our relationships or in our own thinking and general emotional health. If you feel that you would benefit from support, then it would be my sincere hope that by working with me you would quickly recover a sense of equilibrium and get back on track 

Working together, using proven methods, I can help you come up with solutions and strategies to help you feel better, fast.
