Jo Reidy, BACP

Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficult life changes. She also supports those coping with addiction, trauma, eating difficulties and intimacy or relationship worries.

Jo aims to make sessions relaxed and straightforward. She creates a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what is troubling them. She emphasises listening first, then helping clients find small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Her background includes a wide range of concerns such as parenting strain, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and career stress. Jo also supports people dealing with ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, chronic health problems and issues around attachment and abandonment.

In therapy she draws on approaches that help people understand patterns in relationships and thoughts. That can mean looking at how past relationships shape present feelings, or working on practical thinking skills to reduce unhelpful cycles. Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs and goals.

Jo is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Jo’s approaches fit online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps when worries about trust, abandonment or closeness keep coming up in current relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy and understanding; it gives people space to tell their story and find their own solutions while the counsellor follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on noticing and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jo will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and then focusing on what feels most helpful for the client.

The biography does not specify which online session formats Jo uses, so please confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, avoid travel time and keep continuity when someone is living abroad. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or simpler audio-only sessions if camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, commonly find online sessions work well for many everyday concerns.
