About Jo
Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP, and has helped people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, eating concerns and depression. She aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they really feel and begin to make changes.
She works in a direct and warm style. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Jo listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Her background includes long-term work supporting people through intense life events and ongoing difficulties. That experience shapes a steady approach to problems like grief, relationship strain, sleeping difficulties and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with identity and intimacy-related worries. Jo uses approaches that bring attention to emotional experience and personal meaning. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings.
Cognitive behavioural methods are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping. Her practice also includes client-centred work that keeps the person's own goals at the core. People who like a collaborative, gentle but practical style often find this helpful.
Jo encourages a pace set by each person, not a one-size-fits-all timetable.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jo will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the approach can change as things progress and new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or a written way of thinking through feelings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
