I am Jo and I can offer you a safe, supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where you will be able to explore your emotions and uncover your potential.
I am a qualified counsellor, who is a registered member of the BACP. I have a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People.
I am also a clinical supervisor who is experienced in working with both trainee and qualified counsellors. I supervise privately and at ARC in Wokingham.
I also supervise counsellors working with families who have a terminally ill child through the Rainbow Trust
I volunteer with Sue Ryder in one of their Grief Kind Spaces, enabling people to share their experiences of grief. 
I look forward to working with you.
