Individual Counselling

I specialise in online therapy for anxiety. If you're struggling with panic attacks, general anxiety or social anxiety, I am here to help.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues?
Having worked in mental health and counselling for a number of years, I can also help with a wide range of other issues, including depression, stress, bereavement and living with long-term health conditions.

  • I specialise in helping people overcome anxiety and regain a sense of control in their lives. In addition to anxiety, I also provide support for a wide range of other challenges, including:

    • Panic Attacks: Panic attacks can be frightening and overwhelming. I work with you to understand the triggers and develop coping strategies, empowering you to reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks.

    • Phobias: Phobias can limit your ability to fully enjoy life. I use proven therapeutic approaches, such as Systematic Desensitisation, to help you gradually face and overcome your fears, allowing you to regain freedom and confidence.

    • Stress: Stress can feel overwhelming and affect every part of your life. Through therapy, I can help you develop practical strategies to manage stress more effectively, such as assertiveness training, mindfulness exercises, and time management techniques, so you can feel more balanced and in control.

    • Relaxation Techniques: Anxiety and stress can leave you feeling constantly on edge. I teach practical relaxation techniques to help calm your mind and body, making it easier to manage anxiety and feel more at ease.

    • Depression: Depression can leave you feeling hopeless and alone. Together, we will work on understanding the root causes of your depression, developing healthier thought patterns, and putting them into action using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to find a way forward toward greater fulfilment and joy.

    • Bereavement: Losing a loved one is one of life’s greatest challenges. I offer a compassionate space where you can express your grief, work through your emotions, and find a path toward healing while honoring your loss.

    • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD): OCD can create cycles of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. I provide tools and techniques, including Systematic Desensitisation and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to help you break these cycles, regain control, and reduce the impact of OCD on your daily life.

    • Illness and End-of-Life Concerns: Facing illness or end-of-life challenges can bring up a range of difficult emotions. I offer support in processing these emotions, helping you find peace, meaning, and acceptance during challenging times.

    • Anger Management: Anger can be destructive if not managed well. I can help you understand the underlying causes of your anger and develop healthier ways to express and manage it, improving your relationships and emotional well-being.

    • Self-Defeating Behaviours: Many of us have patterns of behavior that hold us back from achieving our full potential. I help you identify and break these patterns, so you can live a more fulfilling and empowered life.

    • Assertiveness: Struggling to speak up for yourself can lead to resentment and dissatisfaction. I provide guidance to help you develop assertiveness skills, so you can communicate your needs effectively and build healthier relationships.

    • Self-Esteem & Confidence: Low self-esteem can impact every aspect of your life. Through therapy, I help you challenge negative self-beliefs and build a stronger, more positive sense of self-worth.

    If your concern isn't listed here, please reach out. I'm open to understanding your unique challenges and will work with you to find the right path forward. Together, we can navigate your journey to well-being.

    What would Jolian say?

    “Before therapy with Jo, I would get stressed and anxious at work and just carry it with me - it was making me ill! I always think now, “what would Jo say?” When I’m in a situation that causes me stress and anxiety. I feel so much more in control of my life and I understand myself much better. He’s helped me so much, I can’t recommend him enough.”
