Jo has worked as a clinical psychologist in various settings, both abroad and in the United Kingdom, with both adults and older adults, since completing her training in 2005.
She has a particular interest in women’s mental health and specializes in working within the areas of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief and loss. Jo adopts an integrative approach, drawing from various therapeutic models dependent on individual need and preference and is able to offer therapy in person and online.
Alongside more traditional therapeutic approaches, Jo is passionate about the benefits of nature for mental health. Where appropriate, she offers the use of natural outdoor spaces for therapy sessions, including seated or walk and talk formats, allowing the environment to be thoughtfully integrated into the therapeutic process. This approach may appeal to those who are naturally drawn to the outdoors or those who find the traditional indoor therapy setting too challenging.
Movement and being in a natural setting, can facilitate clearer and more creative thinking, often with a positive effect on mood and emotion regulation. Further to this, natural spaces provide a rich sensory environment supporting the development and practice of mindfulness skills, which are of benefit to both mental and physical health.
