Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of practical experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, eating difficulties and depression. Jo aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space so clients can speak honestly about what they are feeling.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process where people take the lead on what matters most to them. Her background covers a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleeping problems and parenting strain.

Background and approach

She also works with mood differences such as bipolar, ADHD and challenges around self-esteem and career decisions. Additional focuses include attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and codependency among others. Jo draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs.

She uses client-centred listening to prioritise each person’s experience and cognitive behavioural tools to address unhelpful thinking and patterns. Emotionally-Focused and attachment-based ideas help when relationships and closeness are central issues. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical.

Jo helps people identify small, manageable steps and tests ideas together in session. She balances emotional exploration with concrete strategies so people can notice real change between meetings. Jo is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and works online with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

She offers several session formats so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, trust and distance and can be useful when attachment or abandonment issues affect daily life.

Client-centred therapy centres the person’s own experience. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead, which can help people who need a supported space to make sense of feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It gives practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, useful for anxiety, depression and habits linked to addiction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jo will discuss options and test what fits best with the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is shared and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and travel.
