About Jo

Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and eating difficulties. Jo aims to make first steps towards change feel less overwhelming and more achievable.

Her approach begins by building a straightforward, non-judgemental space for talking. Sessions are conversational and grounded. Jo listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new ways of responding.

Background and approach

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. She also uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience at the centre of each session. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical tools can reduce distress or break unhelpful cycles.

Jo works with a broad range of concerns including depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleeping problems and parenting stress. She also helps people facing identity and LGBT-related challenges, career pressures, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties. People who come to Jo are often looking for clear, down-to-earth support.

She offers sensitive listening alongside practical steps. The aim is to help people feel more able to cope, make decisions and move towards changes that matter 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.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jo commonly combines attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice with cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current emotions and patterns, which can help with trust, intimacy and repeated relationship problems. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and relies on empathic listening to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) adds practical exercises and tools to change thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches that fit the person’s needs. Clients and therapist check in together and adjust the plan as progress develops.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions and try different formats to see what works best.
