Online integrative and EMDR therapy for relationship challenges, phobias, anxiety, PTSD and complex PTSD.

Free 20-minute introductory video call to see if we’re a good fit.

Wednesday-Friday 9am-6pm (UK time).

Hi, I'm Jo. If you’ve found your way here, you’re ready for change. Something is getting in the way of you living the life you want. It might be difficulties in relationships, difficult experiences holding you back, feeling triggered by specific situations, or a phobia. You’ve done a lot to try and figure it out yourself; now is the right time to reach out for some support.

I help people overcome hurdles which are holding them back. I love seeing my clients feeling more resolved, experiencing more rewarding relationships, feeling free to make the changes and choices they need to, and more able to be present.

Why you might be here

You’re likely someone who has always been pretty self-sufficient, competent, able to manage things, perhaps even a bit of a ‘coper’. Lately, though, you’ve been struggling.

Perhaps you’re having strong reactions to interactions with people, and you know they’re disproprtionate. Maybe you’re repeating the same relationship patterns over and over: struggling to set boundaries in important relationships, to manage conflict, experiencing relationship ‘flare-ups’. Certain things might unexpectedly trigger strong emotions: something on the TV; a throwaway comment; or a song on the radio.

Perhaps you dread specific situations like an upcoming journey, an adult child leaving home, a meeting at work, or even just getting everyone out of the house in the morning. You don’t know why, but these situations feel like they take over. You’re motivated to change things, but a little stuck on how to move forward.

Maybe ‘stuff’ from the past feels like is cropping up and impacting how you think, feel and behave: you need to clear it out in order to move forward.

Whatever challenge you are facing, you’re ready to overcome it.

I bring together a unique combination of therapy approaches which allows me to adapt to my clients’ needs as therapy progresses. I offer 1:1 integrative therapy, EMDR therapy, and intensive EMDR and integrative therapy sessions.

Integrative therapy. I blend different approaches to adjust to my clients' needs: person centred, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural therapy. I am non-judgemental and supportive, and we are curious together to understand what is going on for you, and to find a way forward.

EMDR Therapy was originally developed to work on PTSD and trauma, but has since been shown to be effective for a number of issues, including relationship issues, feeling triggered, phobias, and self-esteem. EMDR is scientifically proven and endorsed by the World Health Organisation, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, and the NHS.

EMDR intensives are longer sessions of EMDR, usually a few hours each over a few days in the same week. In many cases, a single day of intensive EMDR can achieve the same progress as months of weekly sessions.

​Intensive integrative sessions to focus on a specific issue and last 90 minutes. This may be helpful for clients who want to spend more time on a specific topic, or those who want a one-off session to work through something specific.

There are two main factors that predict success: you, and your relationship with your therapist. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call so that we can explore whether we would be a good fit.

If we decide to work together, we would usually have some sessions understanding the lay of the land: what is going on for you, and what you would like to change. After 2-3 sessions, I will suggest the approach which I think will be most helpful, and check that you are happy with that.

I help people overcome hurdles which are holding them back. I love seeing my clients feeling more resolved, experiencing more rewarding relationships, feeling free to make the changes and choices they need to, and more able to be present in - and enjoy - the here and now. My clients often report that, as a result of our work together, they can be the person - friend, parent or partner - they want to be.

If you feel that this work could help you, let’s talk. I offer a free 20-minute introductory call.

I bring together a unique combination of therapy approaches which allows me to adapt to my clients’ needs as therapy progresses. The foundation of my approach is a non-judgemental, supportive attitude, where we are curious together to understand what is going on for you, and we work collaboratively to find a way forward. I believe that warmth and humour have an important place in the therapy room.

The approaches I am trained in are: 

• Psychodynamic. This helps you to understand ‘the presenting past’ - to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It also helps you to identify relationship patterns, to understand, to resolve deeper emotional issues, and to move forward.
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. CBT helps you to identify and challenge negative thoughts and behaviours, understand what triggers you and why, and learn practical skills to manage your emotions and tackle everyday challenges.
• Person-Centred. This provides a non-judgemental, supportive space where to explore your feelings. This approach is the bedrock of my practice, and is collaborative: we are curious together about what might be happening, and why.
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reintegration (EMDR) works to reprocess unresolved experiences from the past which may be causing strong reactions in the present, meaning that you are less easily triggered by specific situations. EMDR is effective for many issues including PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, phobias, and relationship problems. 

I offer a free 20-minute introductory call to allow us to explore whether we are a good fit. If we decide to work together, we would usually have some sessions understanding the lay of the land: what is going on for you, and what you would like to change. After 2-3 sessions, I will suggest the approach which I think will be most helpful, and check that you are happy with that.
