About Jo
Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on common and complex difficulties such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and eating concerns. Jo aims to create a straightforward, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make changes.
She uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her rather than one fixed method.
Background and approach
That means practical strategies for managing distress alongside deeper work on relationships and patterns that keep problems returning. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday life, not in technical jargon. Jo often helps people rebuild a sense of safety after difficult events and learn new ways of coping when old methods stop working.
She also supports those managing low mood, sleep difficulties, relationship strain and questions about identity or intimacy. Her work includes practical tools for tackling habits linked to addiction and distress. People can expect calm, steady support and a focus on what they want to change.
Jo listens for the goals that matter to each person and checks in about what is or isn’t helpful as therapy progresses. Progress is paced to suit the individual rather than rushed. Sessions are offered in English and Jo works with clients both in the UK and internationally.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is listed as BACP.
How Jo's approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online work can help people notice patterns in close relationships and practise new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which helps when someone needs time to find their own answers.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, gives straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and coping habits. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep issues and managing addictive behaviours through clear steps and homework tasks.
Finding the right approach is often a joint process. Jo will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She reviews progress with you and adapts the plan if something does not fit.
Online sessions via video or phone make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life and avoid travel time. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions and an option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. These formats help therapy stay flexible and practical while focusing on the changes you want to make.
