Jo Reidy, BACP

Jo Reidy is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, steady support for people who are finding life hard. Jo aims to make the first step feel less daunting and to help people work toward change.

Jo has helped people with stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, sleep problems and career questions. Her practice includes work on attachment, ADHD, compassion fatigue and a range of identity and intimacy concerns.

In sessions Jo creates a simple, non-judgemental space for talking. She listens closely to what matters to each person and helps them clarify small, practical steps. Conversations are honest and straightforward rather than full of jargon.

Her approach draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas. Those methods help with relationships, unhelpful thinking patterns and strong emotions. Jo also brings elements of existential thinking when people want to examine meaning and life choices.

People who come to Jo often want a therapist who is calm, grounded and practical. She supports people through both immediate problems and longer term change. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site booking flow and complete the short matching questionnaire to set up an initial appointment.

How different approaches can work online

Attachment-Based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people notice patterns from close relationships and try new ways of relating. Client-Centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, giving time to be heard and understood without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear techniques for changing unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss goals and preferences and choose methods together with each person. That collaborative planning helps adapt sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

For practical matters, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continuity if relocating or travelling, while keeping the focus on therapy tasks and real-life changes rather than logistics.
