About Jo

Jo Bealey is a counsellor with four years of practice. She works with people who feel they are not at their best and want a calm, supportive space to talk. Jo uses a client-centred, compassionate style that aims to make talking easier for worried parents and busy people.

Jo offers time to look at past and present issues. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and stress. She also helps those struggling with eating, sleeping or work-related strain and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Relationships are a particular interest for Jo. She helps people understand how relationship difficulties can affect daily life. Small worries and bigger splits are both welcome and will be met without judgement.

Her work draws on attachment ideas and emotionally focused ways of looking at feelings. Jo prioritises the person’s pace - the client leads and she follows, offering prompts and reflections to make sense of experiences. Jo works using a range of approaches rather than a single method.

Conversations are plain and practical. Sessions aim to make problems easier to manage and to help people reconnect with what matters to them.

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.

Online approaches that focus on relationships and feeling states

Jo draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape how people relate now, helping to make sense of patterns in close relationships and feelings of abandonment or emptiness. Attachment work is useful when relationship issues or attachment concerns cause day-to-day distress.

She also uses emotionally focused ways of working which help people name and sit with strong emotions and then find new ways to respond. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, grief, and relationship difficulties where emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide what to try first. The choice of method can change as things shift and progress is reviewed collaboratively.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone works well on the move or with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to book around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
