About Jo
Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, eating difficulties and low mood. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making it easier to talk about painful thoughts and feelings.
Jo creates an open space where clients can share without judgement. She encourages practical steps alongside reflective conversation. That might mean learning new ways to cope with anxiety, addressing patterns that feed addiction, or talking through traumatic memories at a steady pace.
Background and approach
Her background combines several therapy approaches, including Existential therapy, Attachment-based work, Client-centred methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She adapts these approaches to meet each person's needs, rather than using a fixed formula. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.
Jo also supports people facing relationship stresses, parenting strain, identity and intimacy issues, and career-related pressure. She pays attention to how past attachments and life choices shape current feelings and behaviour. Practical tools and clearer understanding are offered alongside emotional support.
Sessions are offered in English. Jo accepts international clients and works with people from varied backgrounds. If someone is ready to make a change, she helps them identify small, workable steps and keeps the focus on what matters most to them.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential therapy helps people face big life questions and find personal meaning in change. It focuses on choices, responsibility and making sense of difficult feelings without avoiding them, which can help when people feel stuck or unsure about the future.Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people recognise attachment habits and develop healthier ways of relating and feeling safe with others, useful for intimacy issues and recurring relationship difficulties.
Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens carefully and follows what the person brings, offering empathy and reflection to help them find their own solutions and build self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan that fits the person's goals, needs and preferences. The decision is collaborative and may adapt as the work unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and non-verbal cues, phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and messaging can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work across locations.
