about jo

hello there,

i'm jo

If you’re here, you might be looking for someone who understands the intricacies of the human experience—someone who can hold space for the profound complexity of your inner world with empathy, insight, and care. That’s the heart of my work, and it’s what I’m most passionate about offering.

hello there,

i'm jo

I specialise in a unique blend of approaches that I describe as Wholeness Work.

Elements of IFS (Internal Family Systems), somatic psychotherapy and Integral philosophy combine to include the mind, heart, body, and spirit. My clients often come to me when they feel stuck—caught in painful patterns, overwhelmed by inner conflict, or yearning to feel truly at home within themselves. Together, we explore your inner landscape, bringing compassion to the parts of you that feel vulnerable or protective, while connecting with the wholeness and wisdom already within you.

I specialise in a unique blend of approaches that I describe as Wholeness Work.

My Approach

My path into this work began with my own struggles. As a young adult, I faced years of existential anxiety and daily panic attacks that forced me to confront some of life’s deepest questions. That journey—while difficult—became a turning point, leading me to psychotherapy and a profound inquiry into the nature of human suffering, healing, and transformation.

Growing up across cultures, with one foot in mainstream society and the other as a foreigner, I developed a deep appreciation for nuance and multiple perspectives. This ability to bridge worlds—whether cultural, relational, or internal—is a hallmark of my work today.

My Approach

In our sessions, you’ll find a space that is warm, curious, and grounded in deep respect for your individuality. I see healing as a collaborative process. Whether we’re untangling protective patterns, soothing the nervous system, or reconnecting with your body’s innate wisdom, I’ll be right there with you—gently guiding, supporting, and championing your growth.

Through our work, my hope is that you’ll feel more integrated, resilient, and at peace, able to move through life’s challenges with greater ease and authenticity.

Why This Work Matters

I believe that personal healing has the power to transform not only individuals but also relationships and communities. The work we do together doesn’t just stay in the therapy room—it ripples outward, creating more conscious, compassionate, and connected ways of being in the world.

If my words resonate with you, I’d love to connect. I'd love to help you find what is hurting and release it from its binds. But let's not stop there. Let's find your unique and authentic way of navigating this one wild and precious life.

Deciding to work with me

how it works

Whether you are suffering and in search of a way out, or you feel the call to greater wholeness and authenticity of being, finding the right-for-you therapist/guide/fellow explorer is an important step.

In short: we need to 'click' so that I can help you.

01 GET IN TOUCH

My practice usually has wait list & I tend to be able to offer an intro call within 3 weeks of first contact and then a regular time slot within the next 3 weeks. The first step is to get in touch by filling out my form. This lets me know your availability, so that I can reach out with matching slots as soon as possible.

02 INTRO CALL

We'll then arrange an introductory call in which you can let me know what it is you are in search of and I can answer any question you might have. The main aim is for you to feel into: do I feel in safe hands with Jo?

03 CHART OUR PATH

The first 2-3 sessions are an opportunity to dive deep into what it is you really want from the work, what it is that matters most deeply. Together we will form our "working contract" which will act as our guiding light: give direction to our work and keep us on track

04 THE ADVENTURE

With our guiding light and our map (IFS, somatics and Integral) we will set off in search of all the parts of you that are waiting to be welcomed and healed. We will be informed by your own inner knowing, both of our intuition and by the maps that I bring. It won't always be easy. sometimes you'll want to give up and go back to what you know, it will certainly be epic.

WHY I DON'T SHARE

Testimonials

Every online service provider expert tells me this is the spot on my website where I should list countless testimonials from past clients. They say that you will trust me more if others say you should. And I get it, it makes sense, it is why the majority of people I work with have been referred to me by past clients or other professionals.

The client- therapist relationship is a private and protected one from beginning to end, a sudden public announcement could be a break in the safety that has been built
The end of the therapeutic process is a sacred moment, one of reflection, grief, profound gratitude (in both directions!) and much more. Slotting in a testimonial form at this point has never felt right to me
People are usually too polite to give constructive feedback, testimonials never give us a balanced view
Trust is built, not given. I am committed to building that trust between us, but I don't expect you to give it to me from the get-go, just because others have come to trust me in the past

However, my current best ethical consideration on this at the moment is this:

People are too polite to give constructive feedback, especially to someone in an important role. My clients have only ever said wonderful things about me and that is lovely... AND it is just like at a funeral, the eulogies NEVER give you the full picture.
Trust is built, not given. I am committed to building that trust between us, but I don't expect you to give it to me from the get-go, just because others have come to trust me in the past
