About Jo

Jo Almond is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She uses practical, person-focused conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship worries and the after-effects of trauma. Jo aims to create calm space for honest talk and steady progress.

Jo has four years of professional experience practising in the United Kingdom and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work includes coaching for executives and professionals as well as supporting people dealing with grief, addiction and changes at work or home.

Background and approach

Her approach blends simple mindfulness practices with somatic techniques that help people notice and work with how the body holds tension. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and prefer; practical steps and reflection often go together.

Jo is conscious of difference and diversity and pays attention to identity, disability and diagnosis when they matter to the person in front of her. She supports people navigating parenting strain, intimacy issues, autism-related concerns, chronic illness, career transitions and commitment or communication difficulties. People meet Jo for short-term practical work or longer-term support.

Sessions can include breathing and grounding exercises, focused conversation about patterns, and goal-based coaching to help people move toward clearer next steps.

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.

Approaches you can use online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and next steps. This suits people who want a supportive space to talk things through.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and ease stress. It helps when anxiety, sleeplessness or repetitive thinking make daily life harder by giving tools for calming and focus.

Somatic work pays attention to bodily sensations and how tension shows up in movement or posture. It can be useful when emotions are felt physically and when people want ways to ground themselves beyond talking.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jo will work collaboratively to decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting the plan as you make progress.

Online formats offer real practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break, and text or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to choose the way of working that fits your life.
