Jo Jorgensen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and challenges related to gender identity. Jo aims to respond with respect, sensitivity and compassion in every session.

She adapts conversations and the plan of care to fit the person she is meeting. That means practical steps one day and deeper reflection another.

Background and approach

Jo helps people name what feels wrong, understand how it started, and try new ways of coping. Her approach draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s needs central. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time.

For trauma she applies focused methods designed to address distressing memories and their impact. Sessions aim to feel straightforward and humane. Jo invites clear goals, small experiments between appointments, and open talk about progress or setbacks.

She encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable. People contact Jo when they want help with attachment or abandonment worries, struggles around blended family arrangements, body image, communication problems, control and dependency patterns, or feelings of isolation. She also supports those facing hospice and end-of-life concerns, infidelity, divorce and domestic violence fallout.

Jo works in English and accepts clients living outside the UK. Practical arrangements are discussed at first contact so people can choose the session format that suits their life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and following their lead in sessions. It helps when someone needs a space to be listened to and to make sense of their feelings without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for depression, anxiety and for breaking habits that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, history and what feels workable. That choice can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussing emotions matters most. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a screen-free option is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging offer short check-ins, brief problem-solving or a way to stay connected between longer appointments. These formats give flexibility while keeping therapeutic focus central.
