About Jo
Jo Reidy is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She brings a calm, straightforward manner to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and addiction-related difficulties. Jo aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and practical for busy lives.
She creates space for honest conversation about trauma, eating concerns and relationship strain. Sessions are non-judgemental and paced to suit each person, so emotional topics can be addressed without being overwhelming.
Background and approach
Jo emphasises listening first, then working together on what to try next. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape close connections, and on Attachment-Based ideas to understand patterns of relating. She also uses Client-Centred methods to keep the person’s perspective central, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to explore thoughts and practical coping steps.
Jo has supported people through grief, parenting stress, career transitions and long-term health challenges. She also helps with issues such as body image, codependency, dissociation and commitment worries. Her approach blends shorter-term coping tools with deeper work on long-standing patterns.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the UK and internationally. Therapy is arranged online or by phone, matching the format to what works best for each person.

Online support
How Jo’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and express core emotions that affect close relationships. Online sessions can be used to talk through painful feelings and to practise new ways of connecting with others.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at long-standing patterns in how people relate and respond to stress. In remote sessions Jo helps identify recurring relationship styles and works on safer ways of relating to reduce anxiety and mistrust.
Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist follows the person’s pace, reflects what they say and supports them to find their own solutions through empathic listening.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jo will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy days or limited travel options. Video calls let the person use visual cues and fuller interaction, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a quicker check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief updates or reflection between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats to fit the practicalities of each person’s life.
